Negative Positive
Title: Repetitive, tedious, incredulous and predictable
Review: If you like Ed BcBain novels, don't listen to this early one. I did so on BOT and if I hadn't already enjoyed some of his later ones,I would NEVER have read another . There are lists and lists and lists. The segment regarding stolen goods states what items are on each table....which lasted over 1 mile of walk/listen time. Most sentences come in pairs and the second repeats up to 50% of the words in the preceding one. Each character is a stereotype. There are flashbacks to Viet Nam ... which have no relation to the story at hand, even by a long and generous stretch. The elements of a McBain story are there. They just don't connect.
