I too just finished Gone Baby Gone last evening,
unfortunately no sparkling wine for me but a couple of
Labatt's Blue made up for it. This was my first Lehane novel
and I enjoyed it once I got about half way through. I too
guessed the baddie pretty well upfront. The action
description of the action scenes were wonderful and this is
where the book really shines. I look forward to reading
another Lehane soon to compare.
