Title: Matthew Scudder is dying a slow death
Review: I used to buy Block in hardcover but after the Turkey "Small Town" I just read library copies if I see one. "Flowers" here was on the "New Arrivals" shelf so I didn't have to spend a dime. Good thing too because Scudder is gone. Instead of the fascinating read of gumshoe evidence gathering via interview, we only get a psychopathic killer's mental ramblings. I think Block is simply tired of Matthew. He is killing him slowly by running off his loyal readers with the graphic murders, when what hooked us in the first place was Scudders logical process of uncovering the perpetrator. So Long, Matthew.
