Sacred by Dennis Lehane -- a review by Elleanore Vance




Patrick and Angie have dramatically changed since we last saw them. Understandably. They let their Belfry grow cold, covered in dust and cobwebs. Neither of them seem to have it in them anymore to solve  the mysteries that used to drive their world. And then they get kidnapped. 


As one might guess, this is a bad omen for our Dynamic Duo. The adventure that follows is a rollercoaster of events. Bubba bails them out one last time before surrendering himself for a year long vacation, courtesy of the State of Massachusetts.(Patrick says they don't like it when you carry unregistered firearms there.) And the ending is one I never saw coming. 


This book gets Patrick and Angie back in the saddle after the tragedy of Darkness. The themes we explore are about healing and being true to one's self. Refreshing in so many ways, difficult in so many others, this is a fitting addition to the adventures of our favorite Boston private eyes. 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5
