First in the series - a bit rough in spots

There book itself introduces a police precinct in a fictional City. The story is there work there detectives do to find a man who is meeting police. The solution is unexpected. The characters will drawn. I found myself disliking the newspaper reporter because of his dishonesty in dealing with police. Also the story clearly predates Miranda. Few clues to three solution that I recognized even after I finished.
Will done police procedural

If the rest of the series is as good as this book then I highly recommend it
Dick Hill, the consummate professional, did an excellent job narrating. He gave each character their own distinct voice.

The story is highly entertaining.
This is Dick Hill's first narration in the series and it could use a little work. That said, by The Mugger and The Pusher, he has it down pat and is a joy to listen to. A lot of the books in this series are pretty cheap or part of Kindle Unlimited, so you can have great fun with these and not break the bank.
I highly recommend.
It's a great 50's cop noir story

Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hill’s performances?
I do not like this performance. Please find someone else to read these books!Any additional comments?
I have loved Ed McBain books since the first time I read one decades ago. I have read every book he has ever printed and have never been disappointed in the story. I do not like this narrator. I wish he would retire or find some other form of work. His performance makes the story difficult to listen to and if I hadn't already been a McBain fan I would not have ever read another book of his based on this performance. I will eventually purchase all of the McBain books to listed to because I love the author's work but I will have to have long breaks between listening to them with this narrator.Narrator almost ruins the book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absoutely.Any additional comments?
Written during a time before CSI and Law and Order, Cop Hater takes the reader back to a time when police work was pounding the pavement. No technology, no women in the workplace, "foreigners" looked at as if they were exotic animals, smoking indoors and everyone dressed in their Sunday best, are just a few things that make Cop Hater so enjoyable. The reader has to figure out the who-dun-it without the cell phone records or DNA evidence. It makes you wonder, how did anything ever get done before David Caruso and his Aviator sunglasses?Amazing
