Wonderful review! I read The Night Gardener by this author a couple of years ago and had a similar reaction. The author really got into the minds of the characters. Everything--and everyone--was so real. And I hear that's not even his best book. I look forward to reading this one by him as well as some of his earlier work. (I admit I am a huge fan of The Wire.)

I wanted to get this one at BEA, but the line was too long and I was running out of time. It sounds great. I love books with lots of character building. And, a mystery thrown in for a bonus!

I really liked this book, and I'm glad you did too! I saw an interview with George Pelecanos and the incident in the book is based on an event that really happened. Kathy’s last blog post..Interview with Jim Beaver

Wasn’t a big fan of The Night Gardener, but I would be willing to give this one a whirl
