A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

BREAD - Ed McBain
Elizabeth screamed again, a long blood curdling scream that echoed through the squad room. the horror of it gut-wrenched even the detectives of the 87th Precinct;..
Yet they played the tapes of the mass assault again and again. It could be th best clue yet to a mess of arson, dope, homicide and porn.
The above blurb makes this run of the mill police procedural sound much more interesting that it turns out to be.
McBain is solid but this is one of his lesser efforts and without the outrageously bigoted and smelly Detective Ollie Weekes it would be totally forgettable. I'd recommend giving this a miss unless you are a McBain completist.
