As the title suggests, this installment in the 87th Precinct series takes place during a stifling heat wave that simply will not let up. The heat and humidity are torturing everyone as are the problems, both professional and personal, confronting the Precinct’s detectives.
As the book opens, detectives Steve Carella and Bert Kling are called to a death scene. A woman has arrived home from a week-long trip to London to discover the body of her husband decomposing on the floor of their apartment. The air conditioner in the apartment has been turned off and the temperature inside the apartment is 109 degrees. The guy has been dead for some time and so, needless to say, things are a bit ripe.
The dead man was an alcoholic and not a very nice person generally. There are no signs of violence and twenty-nine Seconal tablets are missing from the medicine cabinet. It appears that the man has committed suicide, but the law requires that the death be investigated as a possible homicide until officially ruled a suicide. Everything points in that direction, but Carella can’t help wondering why the air conditioner was turned off in the middle of a heat wave.
As they investigate the case, Kling tells Carella that he fears that his wife Augusta, a beautiful and highly-paid fashion model, is having an affair. Carella counsels that the best thing to do would be for Kling to discuss his suspicions with Augusta. Kling promises to do so, but instead begins a private investigation into his wife’s life. Obviously, this is an action that could have any number of potentially very bad outcomes.
The death investigation is one of the more interesting ones in this series and one feels for poor Bert Kling, who is clearly suffering the tortures of the damned. Together, the two investigations make for a very entertaining read–another good entry in this long-running series.

Heat audiobook in series 87th Precinct
Ed McBain has been one of the superstars of the detective story genre for many years, but this was the first of his detective novels that I have read. (I believe I read The Blackboard Jungle many years ago when I was in college.) I enjoyed this book – it reminded me of a long episode of The Twilight Zone. I definitely felt like I was reading in black and white because the story took place in an era when that was how you watched TV – in living black and white. Although I found this book worth reading, I would not give up my David Baldacci and Michael Connelly books to read more by this author.

Heat audiobook by Ed McBain
Dated language but a solid mystery tale, though predictable because of having seen the Poirot films based on the novel viewed many times. The first of the Poirot stories (though not the first book), it provides a nice introduction to the Belgian detective through the eyes of Hastings and a the detective’s interactions with a typically troubled English upper crust family.

Heat audio narrated by Ron McLarty
Poor Bert Kling, goes thru he’ll in this story. Unfortunately a lot of us have been there. Looking forward to the next book.

Despite a Bert Kling storyline which is, as always, a drag, the rest of Heat is a solid entry to the 87th Precinct series. An interesting mystery with a few good sideline stories.
