'The Graffiti Killer', in common with all 'what tradition' titles, is neither escapist nor romantic, and there is no vestige within it of any 'magic realism'. It is a dark comedy with satirical elements, but a possible shortcoming of the book is that the comedy emerges later rather than sooner. There is nothing amusing or satirical about its opening scene, for example. Stylistically, as the judges of the Wishing Shelf Awards attest, it is very readable whether or not the humour is to a reader's taste.
