Good, but not as good as the first in the series. Mostly because it succumbs to the ridiculous psychotic mastermind serial killer trope, so far removed from realism to be almost comical. But still, Lehane pretty much blows the competition out of the water.
I enjoy Dennis Lehane's sentences, but the stories have more sizzle than meat. There were are few points in this book that were laughably bad. I did read the book and only had to skip a few pages, but it is like the author is writing the novel in a attempt to get a movie made, more than to entertain his readers.
