Title: What a disappointment
Review: Wow, what a crappy book from a good author. You can't fault his writing style, but this is a long short story or novella discribed as a full-length book and ... it ain't. If Ed McBain hadn't been a famous author, the padding and unnecessary side trips would have scuttle this book from the start. Soooo much padding! Even at the climax! Just ... not ... worth ... the ... effort.
