"Prayers For Rain"

Dennis Lehane has written another winner in "Prayers For Rain" which may be my favorite so far in his Patrick Kenzie/Anegla Gennaro series. In this book he really fleshes out the character of Kenzie's friend, Bubba Rogowski as we learn more of why he is the way he is and who he is.

Kenzie and Gennaro have gone their separate ways but when Kenzie and his friend Bubba become involved in helping a young woman named Karen Nichols, she makes a lasting impression on Kenzie. When he forgets to call her back after receiving a phone call message from her then later hears she's committed suicide, his antenna go up and he sets out on a trail to find out why because it is so unlike the young woman he met. The path leads him back into the arms of Gennaro as well as attracting the attention of a lethal killer. The writing is stupendous and the twists and turns in this case kept me guessing to the very end.
