The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I don't typically go for the plot driven who-done-it novels, preferring character driven stories instead.  That said, I really enjoyed Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union , a clever, gritty detective story with substance.  Meyer Landsman, an archetypal down-in-the-dumps detective, in the course of a homicide investigation, uncovers a much larger conspiracy.  More importantly, he uncovers his purpose and his place in the world. This novel is well worth the time for anyone who likes a good mystery combined with memorable characters.
