But, I was out in Colorado and found a copy of Since We Fell waiting for a good home. So, I picked it up.
If you just need to turn pages, this book will do it. But as Dennis Lehane books go, it wasn't Mystic River. Since We Fell opens with the main character shooting her husband. Then we flash back to how she got to that point. Someone dying is always a good hook. And some of the justification that followed made sense, but then at some point -- as is often the case in books with convoluted plots -- it just goes a bit off the rails.
What's great about a found book is that you can so easily pay it forward just by leaving it somewhere. The Durango airport has a bookshelf sponsored by the local library -- by now I'm sure that the initial library donation of books has been fully turned over by travelers (including myself) -- where I left this when I was finished with it.
If you happen to find yourself in Durango and want a page-turner, maybe it'll still be there for you!
