A review by sew
Baltimore Noir by Rafael Alvarez, Sarah Weinman, Lisa Respers France, Tim Cockey, Robert Ward, Dan Fesperman, Joseph Wallace, Ben Neihart, Rob Hiaasen, Sujata Massey, Marcia Talley, Jim Fusilli, Jack Bludis, David Simon, Charlie Stella, Laura Lippman

4.0

The Baltimore appeal makes up for the clunkiness of some of the stories, assuming you are inclined to find Baltimore appealing. I wouldn't suggest using this book as an authoritative guide to crime in the city. (Also, the David Simon story is straight out season 4 of The Wire.)
