3.0 out of 5 stars Eeh, November 14, 2007

By	Kris (Norwich, CT USA) - See all my reviews

It was ok. It had a interesting plot with interesting characters, but it bored me. I didn't really care for the first one in the series either but I am willing to keep reading in Hopes that the books will get better. As I said in my earlier review of Goldilocks my mom is a big Ed Mcbain fan and enjoyed ALL his books so I am willing to keep reading since they are quick reads and I have all the books anyway since my mom owns them all. On to the next...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of his best, January 20, 2000

By	Glenore Weal "fivetonine" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Generally, I like to read a series of books in sequence. I read McBain's The Last Best Hope last year, not knowing it was part of a series. It really was "the best" and I hope it isn't the last. So -- I ran right out and bought as many of the earlier books as I could. This one, Rumpelstiltskin is, well, just OK. I'm almost finished and I'm only reading it until the end because I don't like to start a new one until I've finished what I'm reading. Frankly, the story is not engaging enough to keep me all that interested. The characters and dialogue, like all of McBain's characters and dialogue are interesting, but the story -- this is the first time I've read a murder mystery where I hardly care whodunit.
