Critics Review
Get Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River. Boy, does he know how to write
Get Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River. Boy, does he know how to write – Elmore Leonard
Enormously impressive: page-turning but thoughtful; moving in its sad inevitability… One of the finest novels I’ve read in ages – Peter Guttridge * Observer *
Heart-scorching… penetrating… a powerhouse of a novel * The New York Times Book Review *
One of the greats of crime writing * Guardian *
Lehane’s best book by far. Like all his writing, it shimmers with great dialogue and a complex view of the world * Newsweek *
Tightly plotted and explosively tense * Time Out *
A stylish, genuinely gripping whodunnit that will keep even the sharpest thriller fan asking questions until the very last page * Daily Mirror *
Mystic River may be definitively brutal, but it is also satisfyingly thoughtful * Irish Times *

Dennis Lehane
Dennis Lehane was born and raised in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He has written seven novels: A DRINK BEFORE THE WAR, DARKNESS, TAKE MY HAND, SACRED, GONE BABY GONE, PRAYERS FOR RAIN, MYSTIC RIVER, SHUTTER ISLAND and a short story collection, CORONADO. MYSTIC RIVER was turned into an Oscar-nominated film, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon and Tim Robbins.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Mr Lehane worked as a counsellor with mentally handicapped and abused children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos, worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers. His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance to tend bar. He lives in the Boston area.
