City of Tiny Lights by Patrick Neate

3.0

This was a completely enjoyable, fast-paced, neo-noir crime story. Not normally a genre I enjoy, but the setting (London) and the characters (mostly Pakistani and Indian working class)added some twists and depth not normally seen in American works. The 3-star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the story and writing--it's really an excellent book. But, alas, at the end of the day I cannot make myself like hard-boiled detective novels, try as I might!
