Killer's Wedge

Summary: I was "wedged" into my seat for this thriller!
Review: I've always loved McBain novels and Killer's Wedge definately didn't make me change my mindset. This novel epitomizes what the word "thriller" is all about. McBain's subtle writing style flows wonderfully from page to page. Virginia Dodge is the perfect femme-fatale: sexy, sultry, and oh so dangerous! I read the LARGE PRINT edition simply because I had forgeotten my glasses and bought this in an airport before a flight to Europe and I needed the large print so I could read it. But I'm positive you'll enjoy this book in any edition, it's solid, thrilling writing!!

Summary: WILL WEDGE YOU INTO A CHAIR UNTIL YOU FINISH IT!!!!
Review: This is the 7th book I have read on the 87th Precinct. I think I have rated all of them a five. This one is great. Virginia Dodge holds the entire precinct as hostage waiting for Steve Carella to show up. She wants to kill him for arresting her husband, who then died in prison. She has a gun and a bottle of nitro or is it nitro???? She is mean, mad and means what she says. Meanwhile Carella is out investigating a suicide. Or is it a suicide? Was it murder??? He does not know anything is going on. Different officers try things to get the gun away from Dodge, and some pay for it. This is a quick read. It will hold you attention. You will not want to put it down. McBain has done another good one.
