Book: Right as Rain by George Pelecanos
Wrapped up Pelecanos' Strange/Quinn story "Right as Rain" the other night. Nicely written, tightly plotted and reasonably gripping. And, not unlike myself, he digs music and is a gearhead. But it think that sometimes the music references seem more to be what should be playing as a soundtrack to the novel than a reflection of the characters taste. Everyone in the book has a musical taste (down to the old hillbilly who can't stand Allan Jackson), unlike in real life.
Worth reading, and I'll likely pick up another Pelecanos before too long.
