Dennis Lehane: Live by Night.
Live by Night by Dennis Lehane
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love a bit of Lehane. I think he is one of the best there is at conjuring that era in America we know so well from all those Cagney movies we grew up with.
Thing is though, and I’m sorry to say this, in this book I kind of felt he was going through the motions a little bit. It felt like there had been some sort of “prohibition checklist” on his desk prior to sitting down to write, because all of the stock characters were here.
The dame: check.
The buddies who grew up on the mean streets: check.
The corrupt cop: check.
The evil mob boss: check.
The list goes on, and whilst they aren’t bad characters, I felt like I’d met them all before. Lehane did manage to add a few new ingredients to spice things up though. A great Florida setting, Cuba in its “heyday”, a cop on the edge and a US Navy ship being blown up, so I’ll forgive him a little and look forward to his next book with anticipation.

Mary sent me a question via my website: website and I thought making a short video would be the best way to answer it.
Robert Harris also gets a mention, not that he needs any help off me!
If you have any questions about my books, writing in general, or just life itself, drop me a line and you might be in the next video!
Hope you enjoy it!

Sunday in Summer…
This isn’t about books, it isn’t about marketing, it isn’t about writing, and it isn’t about reading.
It’s just about spending a Sunday summer afternoon with someone you love, and appreciating it.
