Mystic River - Dennis Lehane

I've been meaning to get to this one for a time. Not just because it's by one of my favourite authors, but because I've seen the movie and was curious to compare the two.

As it turns out, the movie stuck close to the plot. What we got from the book was a lot more detail about the characters lives, motivations and thoughts. Plus there were two plot points which I couldn't recall, so I enjoyed catching up with those.

Really enjoyable.

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
