Three Blind Mice

Three Vietnamese men are brutally murdered after being acquitted of raping a white woman. McBain takes us on an exciting journey unraveling the truth as attorney Matthew Hope prepares his defense of the rape victim's husband who is accused of the murder. This book was an interesting, enjoyable read. It has some good twists but at times is quite predictable. This is the first Ed McBain book I've read after and I'm glad I finally decided to give him a try. I like his easy flowing style. I predict that this won't be the last Ed McBain book I read.

Shortly into this book, I knew I had read it before. I could recognize elements of the plot as it unfolded. But for the life of me, I didn't have the slightest idea how the book would turn out. This enhanced my enjoyment.
Ed McBain at his very best.

Master of the genre.

E' il primo giallo che leggo di Mc Bain e mi è piaciuto.
Classico stile asciutto degli anni 80 / 90 con colpi di scena e descrizioni taglienti dei personaggi.
Dialoghi rapidi, come si usava in quegli anni. Poco spazio alle indagini psicologiche.
Penso di leggerne altri!
