Hipster Death Rattle by Richie Narvaez

4.0

I've become more familiar with north Brooklyn the last couple of months and boy, does Richie Narvaez know ever corner and haunt. A delightful skewering of hipster culture set right in the middle of Williamsburg, Gentrification's Ground Zero, the book is as much a satire as it is a mystery. Some of the moments were really funny and while I wasn't quite sure what Narvaez was doing with all the pieces, he made them fit by the end in a satisfying way. Its characters are a little thin, even for satire and it doesn't need as many red herrings as it has. But it's a good effort and I hope Narvaez writes more full-length novels.
