Bottom line on The Night Gardner by George Pelecanos is I've waited too long to review it. I remember liking it. The setting is DC; substantial segments deal with race, minorities of various types, and teenagers, all of which capture my interest. I had read a Pelecanos before and wasn't impressed. Night Gardner makes me want to read more, but I sure wish I could remember the title of the mediocre one.
And why am I late with the review? Well, there's the writing. And the local theatre stuff. But the main thing is I'm almost halfway through Pillars of the Earth, and whatever did happen in Night Gardner can't hold a candle to what's happening in the twelfth century.
