Seagulls Gather | The Gutter and the Grave by Ed McBain Book Review @SeagullsGather | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
My review of Ed McBain's Crime/Noir/Thriller The Gutter and the Grave.
This 1958 book was originally released as 'I’m Cannon – for hire' and attributed to Curt Cannon.
Very much in the vein of Hammett and Chandler, the Gutter and the Grave follows down on his luck, ex-private investigator Matt Cordell as he is embroiled in a murder case. Battling his own demons and those with their own agenda, can Cordell solve the case before suspicion turns on him?
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
0:32 The usual nitpicking and talking about the plot
1:40 Girls Girls Girls
3:35 All in a days work
4:38 All in a days skiving off work
5:18 How the police work (you over)
8:33 But is it any good
9:48 But can he write
10:35 Conclusion
My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are now available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37
