Ed McBain didn't half churn them out and this book will by no means change how you look at the world. What it is, is a solid mystery with an initially intriguing plot that carries the reader nicely to the end. Descriptively it is fairly plain, the characters are reasonable (but few will live on in your memories) and the storylines, although starting well, are comfortably solvable well, well before the books conclusion.
It did a job, but not much more.
