Review: Dennis Lehane’s ‘World Gone By’ Completes a Loose Trio of Novels

nytimes.com - When “The Given Day” arrived in 2008, Dennis Lehane described his 704-page magnum opus as the beginning of a possible trilogy. That’s not exactly how things worked out. Instead of sequels, he wound up producing a very loosely linked trio, adding on “Live by Night” (2012) and now “World Gone By.” Each is written very differently: first, a research-filled epic; then a lean, classic Edgar-winning specimen of 1930s crime noir; and now a suspenseful but reflective accumulation of all the wisdom these books have offered.
