I was surprised with just how average this book was. I'm reading my way through the list of "100 Greatest Crime Novels" and decided to give it a try. It was okay, but pretty predictable, and very bare-bones in terms of plot and characters. Maybe McBain's novels get better, but this was the one on the list so I would assume it is supposed to be the best. So-so, but not up to the level of Chandler, Macdonald, James, or Tey.
