Has anyone picked this up yet? I love Lehane, especially the Kenzie/Gennaro series. Maybe I'll part with $16 and pick this monster up from Amazon.

There was a nice piece about him in EW where he said he's basically done writing mysteries. I hear this is flawed as hell, but it's Lehane. I'll be picking it up.

I liked the Kenzie/Gennaro series, but never put it on the top shelf, and actually think movie version of GBG improves on the book. Hopefully Lehane is taking the right road here.

Love the Kenzie/Gennaro series, love Shutter Island for the most part, didn't even realize this came out. I sense a library trip in my future...

Pre-ordered this from Amazon.

I take authors declarations with a grain of salt. Lehane was saying before the completion of The Given Day he'd either follow it up with a sequel or another Kenzie/Genaro novel. Now he's all, 'I'm better then that shit!'.

Wire spoilers, because I'm like that:

I'm tempted to go to one of his signings and "give him shit" for being the guy who wrote the episode where Omar got killed.
