Under the Manhattan Bridge : An Anita Servi Mystery (Anita Servi Mysteries (Hardcover))

Rating:
Summary: Compelling tale of cultures in New York City
Review: Irene Marcuse's best work yet. Draws you in during the first chapter and keeps you engaged with snapshots of the wonderful cultural mix that is New York! The author transitions each chapter well and keeps the reader on top of the story -- giving asides that reflect the personality of the social worker sleuth Anita Servi. Ms. Marcuse depicts a realistic view of life in DUMBO -- the drugs, the ethnic groups intermingling, the artists claiming their spaces -- against the background of deaths that lead to transformations. I highly recommend this book to those wanting to know more about this fascinating area.
