Julie, I also LOVE the Kenzie/Gennaro series! Did you read the first one, "A Drink Before the War?" Wow! It's fantastic! Lehane's writing is dark but you gotta love the humor of Patrick Kenzie which helps break the ice in some of those suspenseful scenes. Of all the series, "Darkness Take My Hand" I consider the scariest. The 'villain' in that one left goosebumps on my goosebumps! Let me know what you think of the book. Lehane stopped at "A Prayer For Rain" in the series. Sometimes he leaves hints about writing one more just to satisfy readers but we'll just have to wait and see. Have you read any of his standalones? They're awesome as well.

I'm often stumped for what to say, too, Julie

It's about a missing girl (about 4) and Patrick Kenzie is hired by the girl's aunt to find her.

Sounds like another author I need to add to my list. Thanks for the reviews. It's always fun to discover new authors here on the board and get a sneak preview of wether I might like it or not:)
