When I was downloading Gone Girl, I accidentally also downloaded Amazon's entire list of top books of 2012. Live by Night was on this list, and I had read Dennis Lehane before (Shutter Island) and liked it, so I decided to read this next. It was very very different! Apparently this is the second book following Joe Coughlin, but it was the first I read... so there! This book starts in Boston in the 1920s travels to Miami and then ends in Cuba. It's the story of a petty thief who turns into outright outlaw (but a smart one). I would highly recommend this book. Joe Coughlin is an interesting character to follow and he sure gets into some fun situations. It reminds me of Boardwalk Empire, and I think that's fun.
