I have been a big fan of Dennis Lehane over the years and have read all of his Patrick Kenzie novels and was hungry for more of his writing. I saw two books by him on Amazon that were not part of the Kenzie series and bought them just because Lehane was the author. The first book was "Shutter Island" and I loved it. The other book was "Coronado" and I thought it was horrible. Even though Dennis Lehane's name is on the cover, I have trouble believing that the same man who wrote all those other great books wrote this trash. If Coronado had been the first Lehane book I read, it would also have been the last and I would never have known his true talent.
