Sue has finished C-MODE but refuses to discuss until I have read it too. I suspect she wasn't over keen but didn't actually hate it.

I might be reading an Ed McBain soon, as one of the groups I'm in on Goodreads has Cop Hater up for voting for February... course it has to beat out MY nomination (Double Indemnity) ;-)

I like McBain. Pithy dialogue, pretty much every character who appears gets described in a list of four or five features so they all feel like quite rounded characters even if they're just walk-ons. (I vaguely recall him saying something about the reader probably not being able to remember more than four or five things about each of his characters anyway, so you get that for everyone).

I read loads of Ed McBain when I was a teenager, really liked the 87th precinct series.
