A review by paulataua
Cop Hater by Ed McBain

3.0

Came across an audiobook version, so why not. Ed McBain has always been one of those writers I have always meant to get around to but have never actually done so. Of course, it suffers from all the things that were acceptable back in the 1950s, but just seem absurd now, like most descriptions of women either start with or at least include some reference to breast size. Having said that, I did get a feeling that McBain did play a major role in developing the police procedural, so it was worth visiting just for that. Nothing special , but mildly entertaining.
