Welcome to Books you Must Read !

Hello ! everyone , i try to find full-length reviews of books that help the reader gather the information they seek to determine if the book is worth their time. I prefer reviews that deal with each book at length, but sometimes settle for smaller reviews when lengthier ones are unavailable. For each book listed here, i try to find at least three reviews on different web sites. This way you can read as many of them as you'd like before deciding on a book. I also write my own book reviews. 


So hope you will enjoy This blog as much as i love doing it for you .


Here is My first Recommendation : "Moonlight Mile" 


ABOUT THE BOOK
Moonlight MileBy Dennis Lehane
William Morrow, 336 pp

Category : Mystery , Drama , Thriller .
Buy From Here : UK  , France , Germany , Canada
In Dennis Lehane's smart new crime novelMoonlight Mile, the young girl at the center of his 1998 novel Gone Baby Gone is gone again.

If you haven't read Gone Baby Gone you may have seen the movie. The 2007 Ben Affleck-directed adaptation featured superlative performances by Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan.
To rehash: In Gone Baby Gone, private detectives/lovers Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro are hired to find 4-year-old Amanda McCready, kidnapped from her mother's apartment in Dorchester, Mass., a working-class section of Boston.
The detectives are hired by Amanda's aunt and uncle — not by the little girl's neglectful mother, who frequently left her alone in the apartment to hang out with her druggie friends. The P.I.s recover Amanda but at the expense of the child's welfare when she's returned to her loser of a mother.
Back to the future. Moonlight Mile, set 12 years later, is a worthy follow.
Amanda, now 16, is missing. Kenzie and Gennaro are now married and have their own 4-year-old daughter. Gennaro is in grad school and Kenzie is taking on morally conflicting investigative jobs with a white-shoe law firm in order to support his family.
Kenzie has never regretted sending Amanda back to her mom. He was following the letter of the law. But he sees Amanda's latest disappearance as a chance to make things right for the teen — if he can find her.
A dogged hunt for Amanda entangles the P.I.s in a mystery that will circle back to the events in Gone Baby Gone and introduce them to some new villains, including organized crime types whose portrayal is a bit over the top. Call it comic relief.
Some of the grit that made Gone Baby Gone so compelling has been usurped (there's still plenty of blood and guts violence) by other, just as intriguing, colorations.
Kenzie and Gennaro can still get jacked up by the rough and tumble side of investigative work, but their love for each other and the welfare of their daughter are now the center of their lives.
In many ways, the novel is an homage to happy family life. It's a deft delivery system for a story that mixes guts, betrayal and the importance of good values. It's also a sublime love story about what really matters in the grand scheme of things.
Lehane says this may be the last novel he writes about Kenzie and Gennaro. It seems to wrap up the loose ends and set them on a more domestic path. If that's the case, it's a heck of a way to go out.
