Title: Someone Please Kill the Narrator
Product review: This is the fifteen book in the series that I have read, and except for "Lady, I Did It" I've like and enjoyed McBain's books. But, this was about as dull a story that I have ever read. The people in it, especially the ponderous narration, seemed as if everyone was forced at gunpoint to be in this novel. What I mean is that even the characters didn't want to be there.The story itself just plods along, with so much unnecessary fluff and fill (especially the side story with Kling) that you get the feeling (or I did) that McBain had a book to deliver and he was gonna get it done no matter what. The problem is that there is no life in the book, it lays there like a fish washed up on the shore gasping for breath.Every good series, has it's ups and downs; hopefully this is as down as the series gets.
