Title: Deserves No Stars!
Product review: I was going to title my review Tannenbaum has lost it, only to discover from other reviews that Robert Tannenbaum didn't write his own books. This may be the worst piece of trash I have ever read and I have been a long time reader of the Karp/Ciampi books. As of late however, I became more and more upset with the brilliance of the children, each of whom is unique in some way, and somehow gets involved in plot after contrived plot. Nevertheless, I decided to give Hoax a try as the premise of a murdered rap star sounded interesting. You don't even get into the murder until well into the book and in the meantime you are forced to endure the unending drivel about Karp's conflict in running for office and another history of Native American ritual. Go back and read the first half dozen of "Tannenbaum's" books, and then drop the rest. After a 100 pages or so, this book was in the pile to go back to the used bookstore. Unreadable.
