Reception
The New York Times Book Review wrote that Shotgun was similar to McBain's previous book, Fuzz, in its more lighthearted approach to the police procedural. However, the reviewer, Allen Hubin, found the work inferior, with a fragmented plot and the humor not as funny. Nevertheless, Hubin said it compared favorable with other recent "fun novels".[1]

gollark: Okay, unless I made a mistake somewhere, the concrete crafter only does a single peripheral call per second unless it is actually crafting.
gollark: Actually, I programmed the concrete crafter... I'm relatively sure every second it only calls list on an adjacent chest, though.
gollark: Also by suspiciously sandless rivers.
gollark: Keansian visitors will be awed by roads slightly faster than switch city ones as far as the eye can see.
