Feminine Fatal
6 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Ed McBain, who invented the police procedural, scores with POISON. A gut wrenching look at the underworld of prostitution and murder.
Marylin Hollis has lots of friends who keep being murdered. Who is this woman whom Detective Willis discovers has a deadly fascination for him? Which will Willis give his loyalty to--his job or the woman he loves?
Steve Carella and Willis are partners, but they travel in opposite directions to unravel a nasty series of murders. All of the victims have 'friendship' connections with the beautiful Marylin.
An excellent read from the pages of the past.
Nash Black, author of SINS OF THE FATHERS.

Good read
1 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
This was a good mystery book. TIhe last 1/4 of the book was fast paced and I couldn't put it down. The ending has 2 huge surprises, you'll never guess who the killer is, although mcbain gives hints for the motive. I don't like the way the end leaves you hanging. I figured he must pick it up with his next book, but from reading a description, it doesn't look like he does.
mcbain is good as always, but some rescripting of willis

As always, McBain is entertaining. My only complaint is his changing of Willis's character. In the prior 38 87th precinct books to Poison, Willis was portrayed as a ladies man...tall women were always attracted to him. Also he was a judo expert from his military career. In Poison, he's only had a few girl friends, women don't like him because he's short. And he took judo lessons because he was self-conscious of his height. I liked Willis much better before this book.
