And, man, she, I gotta tell ya, she, well, wow, is all I can say.'ĭennis Lehane, you owe me an apology and $7.99 plus tax.Brief Summary of Book: Sacred (Kenzie and Gennaro, #3) by Dennis Lehane Gee, can you guess which speaker is supposed to be younger than 25? I can't even imagine a professional novelist giving a middle-aged character lines like this: Hey, do I like win a prize or something?' You can imagine what I wrote around the scene where our private eyes trick a college-aged youth into believing a radio station wants to interview him because of his great taste in music, and we get dialogue like this: I wanted to take the novel back to the bookstore and get a refund, but I had already written in the margins. The entire last third of the book just goes on like this. Young women have lots of sex with older men.Any youth who claims to have been raped by a parent is lying parents never do those things, and besides, the children secretly want it.

Young people who accuse older people of sex crimes are manipulative and untrustworthy.

Everyone younger than 25 is either stupid or evil.

If the protagonist has a partner who might rescue him, the murderer will pass up the chance to kill that partner, leaving the partner imprisoned but unguarded.

The villain kills dozens of people without hesitation, but when she wants to kill the protagonist, she instead ties him up and explains her diabolical schemes until he can be rescued.

Even the best men can be manipulated into doing the worst things by a beautiful woman.

It almost seems Lehane had a checklist of the worst clichés of the field and managed to get them all in. Then the book goes into a nosedive of insulting clichés and implausible plot twists. The book offers good characters and surprising turns. The prose, as always, shows why Lehane is praised as a stylist. Reading Sacred by Dennis Lehane is a strange experience.
