Consider Deacon King Kong by James McBride. Recommended by 4 sources.
“Starts with an arresting, oddly comic crime — an old church deacon shoots someone — then unfolds as a crowded, affectionate portrait of a south Brooklyn housing project and its witnesses. The value is in the distinct, often funny voices, moral ambiguity, and slow-building empathy: short scenes and asides turn small gestures into revealing character studies. Limitation: the many detours into backstory and tonal flips between humor and grief can make the middle feel meandering; readers wanting a tight mystery may feel impatient.”
