Harry Hunsicker Recommends Dennis Lehane

And so we continue our Writers Recommend - a series where we ask writers to, well, you know.. recommend things. Like the books that they've enjoyed. To you. Because who doesn't like being recommended new and interesting books, right?! Think of it as a PSA. Only it's more like an LSA -Literary Service Announcement. 

Harry Hunsicker Reccomends Dennis Lehane's Mystic River

Since I write crime fiction my favorite book in that genre is Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River. Lehane is a brilliant storyteller, and Mystic River is his masterpiece. The novel really opened my eyes to what the genre is capable of. Multi-layered, suspenseful, almost poetic in places. The characters are as real to me as somebody you might meet in a bar or walking down the street.
