3 star for me is "I liked it", 4 star is "I loved it", 5 is "I couldn't live without it".
Bearing
in mind most of his books were churned out in a month or two each, all I
was expecting from Ed McBain was a "like" and that's what I got. His
books are like the equivalent of a soap opera, the individual story arcs
might be a little weak, but you grow to love the on-running
characters...
Oh wait! That was actually just my review for "Cop Hater" just churned out under another title... how weird....
I
think you get my drift. Like "Cop Hater" this was just another
investigation where we grow closer to the cops as they pursue standard
lines of investigation pointlessly until a coincidence or events out of
their control plants the perpetrator in their hands.
I feel I
should give this a lower rating for the fact that it seemed to do
nothing more than "Cop Hater" but it also did nothing less and so that
would be unfair. I enjoyed it and it didn't last very long and I have a
few more on my shelf to read but if it carries on like this I may have
to call time and...
"cite out"
...
...Cop Joke!
