Review: good story with lots of local color almost a 5 star
Rating: 4 out of 5

Lived in S. Jersey for a while and worked in the neighborhoods written about and at the time, around the kind of characters described.  There is the Philly of the tourist and tour book and then there was the neighborhoods.  The author writes with humor and a light touch, there were very few editorial misses, the action was quick and the dialog which tended to be a tad "Rockford Files" ish carried the story along.  The ending was a little forced and you don't see the clues until they are revealed in the final explanation so backed off 5 stars for that and the excessive dialog but it is still a very enjoyable read.
