There have been countless crime dramas written about murder mysteries, but none written by two actual Police Chiefs. Co-Written by retired NYPD Deputy Chief John Cutter and retired City of Stamford Chief of Police Bob Nivakoff, The Squad Room touches on the real-life experiences of Chief Cutter and Chief Nivakoff, through the lens of fiction.The Squad Room tells the tale of NYPD Captain William ??Bill? Morrison??s hunt to track down a ferocious serial killer and sexual predator that is terrorizing New York City. Morrison is a world-class investigator, a ??Cop??s Cop,? with the respect of his peers, but his personal life is in disarray. His son, also a NYPD Officer, is dead, gunned down in the line of duty, leaving Bill a haunted shell of a man. His second marriage is in shambles as his only true loves are his children and ??the job.? Morose, Morrison finds solace in an extra-marital affair, alcohol and the members of his Detective Squad, the men and women in blue that constitute his second family.You may believe you know what evil looks like, but The Squad Room shows you that the face of unspeakable horror can come in many forms. Morrison and his team are racing against time to identify and bring the murderer to justice. Meanwhile, his Detective Squad runs up against villains inside the system: a Chief and a Detective who got where they are by political maneuvering, rather than skill and merit.Cutter and Nivakoff don??t hold back??The Squad Room gives you a genuine insider??s view into the NYPD and the triumphs and tribulations that Police officers experience on a regular basis and the toll that policing takes on the mental and physical health of po… (altro)

I thought this book was fairly well written. It moved along pretty quickly, and there was not a lot of needless filler. The characters are fairly simple, and it follows well in the police procedural category. Not a lot of twist and turns, if that is what someone is looking for. It's a pretty straight forward murder story, with the story following the police as they attempt to solve the crimes. I enjoyed this book, as it kept my attention throughout. It was also a fairly quick read. I would definitely recommend it to others. ( )

Full disclaimer, I am not a big fan of the police procedural genre. However, this book was a pleasant surprise. At times, the cast of characters seemed too big to keep tabs on (especially if you don't read for long periods). If you're into this genre, I recommend a look at this book. ( )

The Squad Room is a good book that is written well and is very tv police procedural like. The story itself is ok and in some degree it's not as important as the book as a whole. Very large cast of characters all with their own stories. That is expected since it's called the Squad Room but I think it could have been edited down just a bit. But, that doesn't take away from it still being a good book that if this is your style of book you should give it a read. ( )

The Squad Room reminded me of the really good tv police dramas in the early days....a microcosm of all types of characters and personalities. Fast moving and a joy to read. Thanks Librarythings. ( )

The Squad Room is a quick read. A murder mystery involving the NYPD. It is well written, but as to the "who done it" part, it was very easy to figure it out. That being said, it had believable characters and a great story line, just not much to keep you guessing. ( )
