A review by thearomaofbooks
Calypso by Ed McBain

1.0

In a series this long there are bound to be ups and downs, but this was definitely the worst one I've read yet (and I've been reading them in order, so this is literally the 33rd one that I've read). I just couldn't buy the "sex fiend kidnaps someone and keeps them locked up on their private island for seven years" as a remotely viable solution, and the violence at the end was way too far.
