4.0 out of 5 stars
A fast and entertaining read, true to life,
This review is from: Detective First Grade (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book, partly because of the fact that i served as a detective in the NYPD's major case squad for three and a half years. The procedurual details and even the operational details were well crafted and added to the book's authanticity. The chief of detectives was much like the man i served under and the man refered to as a dog's reproductive organ was a lot like the man who I worked for when I was in the Special Investigations Division. In all, Mahoney's tale of cop life was both authantic and very entertaing. I recomend this book to any former cop(like myself) or anyone who enjoys police fiction

This review is from: Detective First Grade (Mass Market Paperback)
When I find an author new to me, I like to go back to the beginning and read all of his/her books in chronological order. So, with Dan Mahoney, I began with Detective First Grade. A former New York City police captain, Mahoney knows his territory. This is a police procedural for real, without excess flab, and a rivetting plot line. Fine characterizations, clean prose, and slow-but-steady action build to a gratifying climax. My only quibble is with the ending (literally.) Everything is resolved and then, wham! Done. That aside, though, this is a good, solid book and I'm anticipating with pleasure reading all Mr. Mahoney's other books. This book is a definite must-read for those who want an inside look at how a big-city police force sometimes operates.

Fascinating and clever!,
By Miriam Swann "Miri" (Manhattan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Detective First Grade (Mass Market Paperback)
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! The main character, Brian Mckenna, is so likable and clever. Lots of "behind the scenes" peaks at how cops really investigate. Sometimes a little steeped in the details, but it's all so fascinating that it didn't bother me. Unusual climax at the end...great action!
