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: Does the plethora ore-scanner thing do 3D now?
gollark: Ah. Well, I just use neural interface scanning anyway, so I don't think this'll do much.
gollark: Why install an anti-xray plugin? Block scanners exist.
gollark: The way that should be phrased is "if you move the pit of despair I will install potatOS on a computer".
gollark: You know what I really dislike? Phrasing imperative statements as future tense.
