The Washington Post recently praised MOONLIGHT MILE:
In the decade between the last Kenzie-Gennaro book and this one, Lehane has made quantum leaps as a craftsman: His breakthrough novel, Mystic River encompassed myriad perspectives and ultimately approached the level of Greek tragedy, and The Given Day an epic history of early 20th-century Boston, revealed a writer brimming with even greater ambitions. Still, Moonlight Mile should hardly be considered a step back. Instead, Lehane is a writer bringing new confidence and an easy prowess to a new chapter in an epic story — the Kenzie-Gennaro saga.
