...I read this, too. I won it through goodreads.com.<br /><br /> THE DROP was originally a short story in BOSTON NOIR. It's title was different then: "Animal Rescue." Now it's a movie, and, apparently, someone knew it would sell as a standalone novel movie tie-in. That person is surely correct, but this is one rare novel whose movie is likely better than the book.<br /><br />"THE DROP" is a more accurate title than is "'Animal Rescue.'" The story has more to do with drops at a bar than it does with the rescue of a puppy from a garbage can. Still, the dog rescue and subsequent care do occur. And any animal lover will like the story for that, alone.<br /><br />But the story is really about a lonely bartender (who rescues the abused puppy), his boss, a police detective, and the Chechen mafia. Of course, one of the bad guys is the dog's original owner. And no reader can be blamed if she cares more about what will happen to that puppy and the lonely bartender than about what will happen with the rest of the characters.<br /><br />Dennis Lehane used to be so consistently good that it was safe to preorder his book because you knew you were going to love it. That's not true anymore. Even so, this book did make me anxious to see the movie.techeditorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713987832589573174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-61777796511714685522015-02-25T10:05:53.239-05:002015-02-25T10:05:53.239-05:00Rocco is enough of a reason for me to want to read...Rocco is enough of a reason for me to want to read this.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-1102356333099026762015-02-25T09:34:34.309-05:002015-02-25T09:34:34.309-05:00Sounds pretty good!
