About this listen

 The Drop follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski through a cover scheme of funelling cash to local gangsters -- 'money drops' -- in the underworld of Boston bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv, Bob finds himself at the centre of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighbourhood's past where friends, families and foes all work together to make a living -- no matter the cost.

A moving, gripping thriller, from Dennie Lehane, acclaimed New York Times bestselling autor of Shutter Island, Gone, Baby, Gone and Mystic River, The Drop will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Flawless

Loved this book. I am a big Denis Lehane fan and this didn’t disappoint. It was too short if anything. Really well developed characters and the narrator did a wonderful Boston accent.

Excellent

A fantastic reading of a short yet well written novel. This is the second Lehane novel I've read and there's no doubting he's a fantastic writer. His characterisation and ability to conjure up a place's atmosphere are second to none. I'll certainly be listening to more of his titles

Short but sweet
