Product Description

Product Description

A young girl jumps to her death. A salesman gets blown apart. Two semi-naked bodies are found dead on a bed with all the hallmarks of a love pact... Spring really was here for the 87th Precinct. Steve Carella and Cotton Hawes thought the double suicide stank of homicide, but they just couldn't get a break. Fortunately Hawes has something else going on in his life at the moment - something like love. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Love, Ed McBain, 28 July 2005
By RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Like Love (87th Precinct) (Paperback)
I was very saddened to hear of Evan Hunter's death a week or so ago. In a career that was over half a century long, he produced a huge number of books under a wide variety of names, the McBain strand being the most popular. His talent was unique and his contribution to the genre inestimable; every single one of these 87th Precinct novels is special, and this one is no exception.

Like Love is an excellent book and an excellent mystery. It's briskly written, and the style if stuffed with McBain's terrific sense of humour, the writing brims with fun. His books are light and incredibly enjoyable, and - without fail - provide readers with a good mystery. The usual gang (Carella, Hawes, etc) are all here, and you could hardly hope for better company while reading a crime novel like this. Every crime fiction fan has to try McBain's wonderful books, and this is as good a place to start as any. Everything a fan could have asked for in an 87th Precinct novel.

Let's just hope Orion continue to reissue these old titles so more are available; McBain's books deserve to endure, and they certainly will.
