From Booklist
A blind violinist is shot in the alley behind the restaurant where he works. A sales rep is gunned down in her apartment while cooking dinner. They are both killed with the same gun. Detective Steve Carella and his 87th Precinct team investigate. The case grows more confusing when an elderly priest and an old woman walking her dog are also murdered with the same gun. The killer, a seemingly ordinary man, is on a last fling with a call girl, who doesn't understand the darkness residing within the man she hopes will pull her out of the life. McBain has written more than 100 novels and earned more awards than can be cataloged in a brief review. His 87th Precinct novels remain the benchmark for both police procedurals and crime series fiction. Here he offers a proposition: with one's own end in sight, would there be any satisfaction in exacting revenge on those who forced your life off course? Say a teacher who gave you a C when a B would have kept you safe from Vietnam? McBain asks the question and--in making the killer something less than a monster--provides a provocatively open-ended answer. McBain just keeps getting better and better. This one will have readers waking in the middle of the night wondering if they, too, have killers inside themselves. Wes Lukowsky

Format:Taschenbuch
Fiddlers ist ein routiniert geschriebener McBain ohne Überaschungen. Die Story ist wenig orginell und durchschaubar. Wenn man einfach nur einen Krimi sucht, ist das Buch gutes Lesefutter. Wer McBain kennt, wird wenig neues erleben. Ich bin mir auch nicht ganz sicher, ob McBain wirklich schlechter geworden ist oder ob andere Police Procedure Autoren einfach besser geworden sind. Das spannendste an den späten Romanen um das 87. Revier ist eigentlich die Frage, ob Fat Ollie nun bei einer Kollegin zum Zuge kommt oder nicht. Aber die Tatsache, dass ein Großteil der Handlung sich auf einen Polizisten aus einem anderen Revier konzentriert zeigt, dass das Konzept vom 87. ausgereizt ist.

With the passing of Ed McBain, we lost one of the great ones.
If this were a review of Ed McBain's writing, his work would clearly receive five stars. His 87th Precinct and Matthew Hope novels have been landmarks in detective fiction for longer than most of us can remember.
My fervent wish is that Mr. McBain's literary heirs will consider authorizing his 87th Precinct stories to continue under a new author . . . first using any notes or partially completed manuscripts they find.
On to Fiddlers. The best part of this book is found in the many imaginative word plays on the title that Mr. McBain used throughout the book. If you like tongue in the cheek humor in your police procedurals, you'll love fiddling along with fiddlers in Fiddlers.
The personal stories of the detectives are more interesting than usual. Bert is still trying to recover from his faux pas with Sharyn. Steve finds a new problem at home.
The crime story is an interesting variation on the serial killer genre. I think you'll enjoy uncovering the motives behind the murders.
Mr. McBain fiddled with us in one other way -- he brings all the investigations forward successfully in one grand gesture . . . almost like a final curtain call.
The book's main weakness is that the negative events in the perp's life seem to be more than a little too much. Had Mr. McBain satisfied himself with more modest motives, I think this could have been a grand story.
If you have ever read any of the books in this distinguished series, you will make a mistake if you miss this one. It may be the last.
Adieu, Mr. McBain!
