Books read in 2022: No. 7 -- Fat Ollie's Book

by Ed McBain

Started: March 4
Finished: March 14

Notes: I've only got about a half dozen novels to read before finishing the entire 87th Precinct series, but this is the last one I actually own at this moment. So I thought I'd go ahead and read it before searching for the others. By the way, for those who don't know, Fat Ollie is a recurring character in this series, a detective from another precinct.

Mini review: This one was a lot of fun, especially when 87th Precinct novels feel like catching up with old friends. Here a big drug deal is in the works, a city councilman is murdered, and Detective "Fat" Ollie Weeks has written a detective novel, which is then stolen. It all comes together to a nice ending, put not necessarily a happy ending.
