I have just devoured every word written by this author - the five Kenzie
Gennaro in series plus Shutter Island and Mystic River. (Shutter Island
ranks on top IMHO) I have NEVER been so enthralled with a novelist before.
Can any other LeHane fans suggest similar mystery authors?? This guy has got
to be hard to top.
Thanks,
Marty

I don't know about similar.... But I like Dennis Lehane too and IMO,
Michael Connelly tops him.

I concur with the suggestions of Connelly, Pelecanos and Crais. All great
writers.
You might also like Peter Robinson (try Aftermath) Ian Rankin (the best bar none
in
my opinion), James Crumley, Richard Price (Lehane's favorite author), Laura
Lippman,
Karin Slaughter, Eugene Izzi.....

These are all kind of similar.

There's lots more!
