Shotgun is another winner from Ed McBain in the 87th precinct series. The author has provided us with two rather perplexing murders, both of which seem to lack an abundance of clues, likely suspects, or any obvious solutions. In the first murder, a traveling salesman and his wife appear to have committed a murder-suicide with a shotgun. However, Detective Carella quickly observes a spent shell casing next to the man’s body where he lay holding the shotgun. As the weapon was a pump-action shotgun, Shotgun is another winner from Ed McBain in the 87th precinct series.
