Killer's Payoff

pick

Let‘s be real - these are a product of their time (late 1950s) and they don‘t age particularly well (Hello, Misogyny!). BUT, if you can look past the depictions of women, they are good examples of mid-century noir/police procedurals, and they are fun. I may even have cackled at the ending. The audiobook narrator on 1.4 speed is practically perfect for the book and genre.

I read for about 30 minutes before work and fell 😴. I am hoping that, with a little help from coffee, I will sustain consciousness long enough to put a dent in my #24b4Monday. #dogsoflitsy

Andrew65 That‘s always the problem with weekends, exhausted from work and fall asleep. 💤 5y

Geenie Yess! @Andrew65 I got 17 minutes done. 😂😔 5y

Andrew65 @Yoshi-and-a-book Saturday evenings do that to me after a week at work. Think I must spend 50 hoiurs at school a week plus all the hours I put in at home. (edited) 5y

Geenie @Andrew65 I work at a pharmacy. There should be a drug that enables one to read without inducing inevitable sleep. 5y

Andrew65 @Yoshi-and-a-book I‘d pay for that! 5y

Killer's Payoff | Ed McBain

A satisfying early installment in the 87th Precinct series. Mostly blackmail, with just a little bit of murder. Cotton Hawes provides some private-eye glitz and glamour, while the rest of the squad diligently carries out its duties.
