4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Police Procedural
After many years of enjoying Peter Turnbull's stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, I finally sought out his longer works. This is the first one I found and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Excellent Police Procedural,

This review is from: The Killing Floor (Paperback)
After many years of enjoying Peter Turnbull's stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, I finally sought out his longer works. This is the first one I found and I enjoyed it tremendously. As always, his characters are superbly drawn and the story is well-plotted. There is no one better at showing how the police work from the first discovery of the crime, through gathering clues and information, to the final apprehension of the criminal. The enjoyment lies in the details of the case and the actions of the characters, and in the interaction of chance and purpose. Be warned: this is by no means a "cozy" mystery - the story is gritty and stark, but balanced with humanity, and quite believable from start to finish.
