I thought this offering from Ed McBain was disappointing and very boring. I was expecting a brilliant crime fiction novel, the way that everyone carries on about Ed McBain, but infact, I think that I could have written a better book.The story revolves around an old man that was found dead in his bed, by his daughter. But did he really die in his sleep? Or was there foul play? Who cares?I read the entire book, but guessed the ending almost straight away. I can't believe that someone who has written 80 books has produced this drivel. As far as comparing him to John Sandford - well, I don't think how that comparison can be made - chalk & cheese!If you a looking for a great crime fiction, miss this out and do get John Sandford or Michael Conolloy.
