A short but very enjoyable listen.

Dennis Lehane has written some excellent thrillers and a few have been made into fairly great movies. This is the third iteration of The Drop as it started life as a short story, was then written for screen and lastly fleshed out into this short novel, more or less the opposite way to normal!

The dingy Boston bar and the dangerous cast of characters that make it their home are all well drawn out in such a short space of time, none moreso than Bob, whose quiet life erupts in the wake of the bar he works in being robbed and him finding a puppy. What a strange sentence to write!

Great short listen, well read and thoroughly recommended as are the majority of Lahane's books

Great little book

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

Just like the movie with a few added scenes. Narration was spot on too which makes or breaks an audiobook for me

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

Drawn right into it from the off. Narrator made you feel right there in Boston 2014

Perfect story and delivery

I've read/listened to 4 or 5 of Dennis Lehane's books. I expected an imaginative and gripping story worthy of the author of Mystic River. Instead he uses the device common to second-rate thriller writers: a psychopath who tortures and kills. Didn't bother to finish the pap.

POOR ATTEMPT
