The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
3.0

There was both a lot to like and a lot to hate here. As much as I tend to like genre mash ups, I really feel like this would have been stronger if it had been less murder mystery and more alternate history. I was interested in the world building, and parts of the plot were really interesting, but it lost me a lot, partially because the main character didn't interest me and partially because the murder mystery aspect just really wasn't well written or plotted.
