We couldn’t be more pleased to share Booklist’s starred review of Dennis Lehane’s latest, WORLD GONE BY.  They declare, “The conclusion of Lehane’s Coughlin trilogy is a landmark event in popular fiction.” Featured as the Review of the Day, Booklist says, “It’s a novel of crime and passion on a grand scale, but it also brilliantly evokes the inevitably heartbreaking arc of living and dying familiar to us all.”  WORLD GONE BY hits shelves next month!

We’re pleased to share this rave review from The Naples Florida Weekly for The Big Finish. They call it a “highly entertaining and tightly plotted romp.” The one criticism? That the Thorn novels “have long been such a central, exemplary and yet distinctive part of the Florida mystery tradition that many readers will be going through separation anxiety.” We don’t blame them!  After all, as this review confesses, “More Thorn, please.  He’s our drug of choice!”

We’re thrilled to share with you Kirkus’ starred review of WORLD GONE BY, Dennis Lehane’s forthcoming novel. They say this “multilayered, morally ambiguous novel of family, blood and betrayal” is “on one level, a very moving meditation on fathers and sons; on another, an illumination of character and fate,” declaring that its “cumulative thematic power and whip-crack narrative propulsion will enrich the reader’s appreciation past the last page.”

LEAVING HAVEN, Kathleen McCleary’s third novel, is an “absolutely heart-wrenching story” and “perfect for book clubs,” according to Jenn’s Bookshelves. See what other lovely things bloggers have been saying about it after the jump! (more…)
