Title: NOT THE TOUGH GUY WITH THE DARK EDGE THAT WE KNOW & LOVE
Product review: THIS BLOCK ENTRY IS NOT UP TO THE STANDARD OF THE PREVIOUS "SCUDDER" BOOKS. HE IS STARTING TO SOUND MORE LIKE THE "BURGLAR" OF BLOCK'S OTHER SERIES THAN THE SCUDDER SERIES. THE HARD EDGE THAT MAKES SCUDDER SCUDDER IS MISSING. NOT A TOTAL WASHOUT BECAUSE OF BLOCK'S GREAT SKILL AS A WRITER. IF THIS IS THE READERS FIRST EXPOSURE TO BLOCK, GIVE HIS EARLIER EFFORTS A SERIOUS LOOK, THEN JUDGE HIS ABILITIES AND THE MATTHEW SCUDDER SERIES.
