The Last Detective : The Last Dance: A Novel of the 87th Precinct Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Excellent as usual!, By kmorical (Belmont, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Last Dance: A Novel of the 87th Precinct (Hardcover) Ed McBain has done it again. The book was entertaining. Unfortunately, it was too short, and left me wanting more. I suppose that's a good thing... Anyway, BRAVA. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful  The Last Dance...let's hope not, This review is from: The Last Dance: A Novel of the 87th Precinct (Hardcover) Ed McBain is back at the 87th precinct with the whole gang...Carella, Kling, Brown, Meyer and my personal favorite, Fat Ollie Weeks. McBain uses his tried and true formula, moving the plot forward at a good pace from several directions, until he ties it all up neatly at the end. The writing is wonderful. The dialogue crisp and spare. And the story tight and compact. There's nothing extra in this novel. A truly enjoyable read. Let's hope McBain gives us many more from the 87th. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful Thank God for the 87th Pecinct, By This review is from: The Last Dance: A Novel of the 87th Precinct (Hardcover) I have been reading about the 87th Precinct, Steve Carella, Meyer Meyer et al. since my college years. I think I have read them all. I keep waiting for Ed MCBain to go stale, his plots become disorganized and the suspense to ebb. Well 40 plus years of reading and I have yet to be disappointed. "The Last Dance" has all the same characters, but I found the plot to be more intriguing and the suspense lasted until the end. Mr McBain's description of the City on page 91 is alone worth the price of the book. Ed McBain keep on writing, you keep me young. |
