RUMPELSTILTSKIN

Rating:
Summary: Not one of his best
Review: Generally, I like to read a series of books in sequence. I read McBain's The Last Best Hope last year, not knowing it was part of a series. It really was "the best" and I hope it isn't the last. So -- I ran right out and bought as many of the earlier books as I could. This one, Rumpelstiltskin is, well, just OK. I'm almost finished and I'm only reading it until the end because I don't like to start a new one until I've finished what I'm reading. Frankly, the story is not engaging enough to keep me all that interested. The characters and dialogue, like all of McBain's characters and dialogue are interesting, but the story -- this is the first time I've read a murder mystery where I hardly care whodunit.
