Negative Positive
Title: Tinkers and Stinkers
Review: Any worthwhile book should enable the reader to suspend disbelief; The Killing of the Tinkers did let me suspend disbelief, but I could not suspend distaste. The plotting in this book was weak and the protagonist did more drugs than detecting.The author, with self-conscious references to George Pelecanos, tried to use use song titles to establish mood; it did not work. It read more like playlists from the author's iPod than prose.I gave up after 138 pages.
