Rick S. reviewed Sadie When She Died (87th Precinct Mysteries (Paperback)) on + 15 more book reviews
There are a couple of "100 Greatest Crime Novels Lists," and two McBain novels are on those lists, "Cop Killer" and this one. I read "Cop Killer" first and wasn't real impressed, but given that it was written in the 50s and very formulaic, I understood its shortcomings. I read this one then, and it's the real deal. A very, very good novel, and it made me want to order more McBain novels. Worth the time to read.
An 87th Precinct mystery. Why is Fletcher so glad someone has murdered his wife? Detectives Carella and Kling find the answers in Sarah Fletcher's little black book - the amatory exploits of Sadie Collins.
