Shutter Island
by Dennis Lehane
It has characters I believe in, there is good writing and it has an ending which I didn’t see coming. So for me that was perfect
Gone Baby Gone
by Dennis Lehane
Simon Kernick says: For me, Dennis Lehane is one of the best American thriller writers alive today. This is one of his early books from his Kenzie and Gennaro series – a male and female partnership of private investigators based in Boston.
Irvine Welsh says: This is a classic detective novel from a classic detective writer. And he brings so much to the table as thriller writer. His sense of place with this novel, which is set in Boston, is pretty much unbeatable. He is one of the few classic thriller writers who really writes about contemporary social issues. The quality of the writing is absolutely superb and it moves you along.
