Synopsis

The wedding day of Detective Steve Carella’s sister Angela should be the most romantic, special day of her life. But it might turn out to be the worst if her brother can’t figure out which man on the guest list has come to murder the groom.Carella and the men from the 87th Precinct find themselves on the clock as they desperately hunt amongst the name cards and catered dinners for the would-be assailant. Trouble is, the crowd has numerous people with viable motives: the best man who stands to inherit everything the groom owns, the ex-boyfriend with a homicidal crush, and even an ex-GI with a score to settle. But time is ticking, and if they don’t act fast, Angela will become a bride—and a widow—on the same day.Another riveting installment of the 87th Precinct series, ‘Til Death is one of bestseller Ed McBain’s finest, an intense, life-and-death nerve-wracker hailed by the Literary Review as “zestful, inventive, and utterly compulsive.”

Ed McBain. Azt hittem, ilyen névvel csak kemény krimit lehet írni. Ha már úgy kopognak benne a betűk, akár a földre hulló réz töltényhüvelyek. De nem. Ez egy tinglitangli. Kezdjük ott, hogy az egész sztorinak a nyomozó húgának esküvője ad keretet. Sőt, még a nyomozó felesége is mindenórás terhes. Aj......more

"Δώρο από το δολοφόνο", εκδόσεις Bell. Χρονολογικά είναι το ένατο βιβλίο της πολύ ωραίας σειράς του 87ου Αστυνομικού Τμήματος, όγδοο που διαβάζω εγώ. Και δηλώνω ξανά άκρως ικανοποιημένος και ψυχαγωγημένος. Ομάδα που κερδίζει δεν αλλάζει, λένε, έτσι και το στιλ γραφής του Εντ Μακμπέιν παραμένει ίδιο κ......more

A master storyteller, concise, witty, true-to-life drama and characters. I ca......more

Goodreads review by Michael on January 03, 2014

Ed Mcbain's 9th in the ever entertaining 87th Precinct is a bit of a departure, lighter than usual with McBain in a playful mood throughout. The plot is slight of stature with Steve Carella responding to an unsubstantiated threat to his soon to be brother-in-law's life on his wedding day. A threat t......more
