Small Mercies is the best novel I've read in 2023. Right there with Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River as Lehane classics.

Brian, use a hair dryer on a low heat setting. You’ll be able to peel the sticker right off then. That’s how I do all my hardcovers

This book was so damn good. Brutal, bleak and unfiltered, that's how I want my books

Please, please, please read The Prophet by Michael Koryta and get back to us with a review once you’re out of the hospital. Lehane has nothing but good things to say about this guy.

Loved the book with one caveat. It didn’t make sense to me that Mary Pat continued to drive her old car “Bess” while following people. The car is supposedly on its last legs & makes sounds. Not very inconspicuous. She had the money from Marty to buy a new car so to me it didn’t make sense other than a dramatic plot line.

Dennis Lehane is my number one. A little tip on the sticker. My copy had the same sticker. Peel the sticker off carefully and slowly. Try to lift as much glue as possible while doing so. Then take a microfiber cloth and soak it with WD40. Gently rub the glue on the dustjacket. Dont get any oil on the pages. The WD40 will break down the glue residue and it will not harm the dust jacket.

Mary Pat Fennessy may be the most bad ass literary lead I've read in a long while.

You can try using a hairdryer on low to heat the sticker then peel it. If sticky residue is left get some Goo Gone and use a small amount on a paper towel or cotton pad and it take it off and not harm the book.

Hi. No Dennis Lahane for me. Too dark and depressing. Love your reviews. 😊

Definitely going on my TBR. Mystic River is one of my favorite books of all time. This one sounds great as well.

Freeking amazing book. No one captures the gritty urban experience of Boston like Lehane. His characters are deep and original. There are a lot lessons for reflection in this novel. Great review.

I’d definitely be interested in hearing your Dennis Lehane novel ranking! I’ve never read his novels but I’ve loved all of the adaptations based on his books and now I’m really looking forward to picking up Mystic River, which also is my favorite Lehane movie

I loved it as well. The last half was action packed. Lehane doesn’t miss!

Ohhh! I didn't even realize one of my favorite authors had a new book out! Looks like my TBR pile just got reshuffled with Small Mercies on top! Mystic River was the best, I don't think that will ever be topped. But I shall see.

Mystic River is in my top three all time of any genre, Shutter Island is excellent and I seriously miss Mackenzie and Gennaro (along with their psycho sidekick Bubba). The last few haven't worked for me though so I'm hesitant here. I miss really good Lehane.
