Songs of innocence

This was a really well-done noir novel, set in the seedy parts of a New York that might not exist anymore. The novel really felt like it was set in the 1970s, despite email and Craigslist being a really important part of the plot, and that created this interesting friction as you read it. Aleas tells the story well enough, though, that you keep reading despite that friction, and manages to carve out an engaging and thrilling mystery with an unexpected resolution.
