[Jake · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of this is right up my alley: NYC, examinations of decaying institutions, gentrification and neighborhood change and, of course, crime. And a lot of the dialogue sounds realistic. But the plot meanders and is too packed for the story it’s trying to tell. Also, I don’t care for diabolical serial killers, even if this one is more three dimensional than most.

for me this was my 5th terrible read in a row, running out of to be read books, down to the ones i never intended to read
