'Mrs. Fennessy, please go home.' 'And do what?' 'Whatever you do when you're home.' 'And then what?' 'Get up the next day and do it again.' She shakes her head. 'That's not living.' 'It is if you can find the small blessings.' _She smiles, but her eyes shine with agony. 'All my small blessings are gone.' _ 'Lehane is the master of complex human characters thrust into suspenseful, page-turning situations' Gillian Flynn 'One of the great diabolical thriller kings' New York Times
