Coronado


Latest by Dennis Lehane. Its a collection of short stories and a play of the same name as the book. The short stories are all forgettable. But the play is awesome. Its about a father and his son Bobby, a pair of lovers Gina and Will, a psychiatrist and a patient. The conversations of these 3 pairs dont happen at the same time...its a wonderful way to write a very gripping play.
Bobby and his father are talking about a diamond that Bobby stole before he went to jail. His father wants to know what he has done with the diamond...and Bobby wants his father to tell him where Gwen..his lover is. He suspects that Gwen mite have been harmed by his father. Gina and Will plot to murder Gina's husband Hal so that they can be together..and the patient confesses to the psychiatrist that she was an accessory to a murder a long time ago but has not come to terms with it. I will not give out any more spoilers..
The rest of the stories in the book are mediocre. But it mite be that after reading a Kenzie-Gennaro book..u want so much more from Lehane.
