My favorite DL books are The Given Day, Sacred and Shutter Island. ![]() I have listened to the third book in the series (Sacred) and it is even better.

I am normally not a mystery or detective fan, but I do like the writings of Lehane and Gerritsen. This is my sixth book of his and they have all been good to excellent. Some authors know how to get my attention and hold it and Lehane is one of them. The book is also fairly political and like all Lehane novels it takes place in Boston.

Remember the Cordovia, Grenada and Chevette. Published in 1994, this is mostly about race relations and the politics of the 70's and 80's. ![]()
