5.0 out of 5 stars MCBAIN NEARLY ALWAYS GOOD!!!!, March 24, 2002

I think only Ed McBain could take only one day and write a whole book that would hold my attention. Steve Carella's sister is getting married and maybe, just maybe someone is trying to kill the groom. Who and why? It could be one of several people but Steve and his buddies from the 87th are running out of time to find the killer. Bert Kling and Cotton Hawes are off duty but agree to come to the wedding to help. Myer Myer and the ones on duty are working on another angle. Also, Teddy, Steve's wife is expecting a baby any time. Does she have it in this book or maybe the next one, have to read to find out. You will not want to put this one down when you start it. A quick easy to read good book.

This is one of my favorites of the 87th precinct. McBain changes his usual venue and direction a bit in this one. We get to see Carella's loving relationship with his family. With his sister's wedding and his wife's pregnancy, Steve's got lots of family concerns to worry about. That doesn't mean "Til Death" in anyway lacks suspense. The pleasantries of a big Italian wedding continue in the backgroud while Carella must play cat and mouse with a killer.
