"Moonlight Mile" by Dennis Lehane.

It is a sure sign that things are going poorly when, halfway through a book, you ask yourself, "why is this not good?"  And that's exactly what I thought midway through Dennis Lehane's mystery, Moonlight Mile.  The plot was a bit thin, which can be okay when the characters are interesting and witty.  They were not, in my opinion.    If I handed out stars, Moonlight Mile would get two out of a possible five.
