I can't really decide about this one. I finished it over a month ago and have been ruminating on it ever since. 
 Of the three "Coughlin Stories" it definitely has the tightest narrative. But a few things didn't work for me. The (view spoiler)[faceless boy (hide spoiler)] for instance seemed a bit over the top. Lehane did a really good job of insinuating the importance of the apparition as a metaphor, but never gave it a pay-off (at least in any way I understood). And the ending. Ugh. It felt like Lehane tossed a coin and said heads (view spoiler)[Joe lives (hide spoiler)], tails (view spoiler)[Joe dies (hide spoiler)]. And it came up tails. It made no sense that with their entire Florida operation in shambles, the Commission wouldn't want the one man who consistently made them money helping with the transition to a new local boss. Are there more books coming? Was (view spoiler)[Joe brushed aside (hide spoiler)] to make way for his son to be the MC of the next book? Is LeHane crafting a dynastic series here? 
 Still, I generally enjoyed it. I generally enjoyed all three of the books in the series. I recommend it/them to readers who like this sort of thing.
