Gone Baby Gone Dennis Lehane writes satisfyingly complex and disturbingly violent crime fiction that often crosses into thriller territory. These are not, however, cheap thrills. Even in their goriest moments, his books are grounded in rich, real-life detail. Lehane knows Boston and its denizens, and he captures the city’s subcultures beautifully -- from the hushed refinement of the old-money suburbs to the grittiness of tacky motels and bail-bond agencies.

Wymack’s words from hours before were laced through his blood like poison, worse than anything he had been told by any of his foster families. It hurt; it hurt so badly that Andrew wanted to cut it out of his veins and let it drip to the ground with his blood. It had been so long since Andrew had wanted to destroy himself to keep someone. The last time had been Cass, but losing Neil was a thousand times worse. Gone. Gone. Neil

If you are considering seeing David Fincher’s new mystery thriller “Gone Girl” this fall staring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, and your not quite convinced by the critics praise and positive review. While I hate to rely on anything reviews of the majority of film critics, I can safely say that this film deserves every ounce of its praise that it has been getting. This film is not only one of the finest films of the year, but it could also be one of the best modern mystery thrillers of our time

Hoanganh Taylor Nguyen Mr. Stephenson AP U.S. History, Period 6 31 May 2016 Gone With the Wind Gone With the Wind, written by Margaret Mitchell, inaccurately portrays time period during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and Reconstruction Era (1865-1877).
