Title: A master at work
Review: Mr. Block continues to amaze with the Matthew Scudder series. This novel is told from two perspectives, that of Scudder and a serial killer who was also in the previous Scudder novel "Hope to Die". Mr. Block's decision to age Scudder in real time allows for intresting storytelling. Scudder is in his sixties and he acts like a man of that age. I love a novel that keeps me guessing at it's outcome and this book had me going in the last ten pages. I think the last ten pages of this book is some of the best writing that Mr. Block has ever done. The ending is especially poigniant if you are a long time fan of the series. Lawrence Block is one of the best writers in crime fiction.
