A review by cclurejam
Yellowthread Street by William Marshall

1.0

Despite what the cover says, this is not a mystery. It's poorly written, choppy and repetitive. The book follows around a group of policemen for a night. The police are mostly forgettable and interchangeable, as are the members of a criminal organization that we meet. The only moderately interesting character in this is 'the Mongolian' who is the seemingly unstoppable main villain of the piece.
Overall, too many tangents, too many characters that are focused on over the course of the book, and not enough literary skill to pull this one off.
