I did feel a twinge of guilt for giving up on "Winter's Tale" but I don't seem to respond to fantasy as a genre all that well. (Though I try not to let prejudice keep me from trying new books.)

Well, just check the Reader's Rights Declaration, it's right there:

I don't see Winter's Tale as a fantasy book personnally, but my recollection is rather vague, and there were some fantasy elements.
I liked the Kenzie/Gennaro series, but not as much as Mystic River and Shutter Island.
