Creators: Liked Matthew Scudder Crime Novel #1. "When Lawrence Block is in his Matthew Scudder mode, crime fiction can sidle up so close to literature that often there's no degree of difference" (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The pretty young prostitute is dead. Her alleged murderer—a minister's son—hanged himself in his jail cell. The case is closed. But the dead girl's father has come to Matthew Scudder for answers, sending the unlicensed private investigator in search of terrible truths about a life that was lived and lost in a sordid world of perversion and pleasures.
LikedI didn't feel the execution was super high, but I thought the narrative voice is strong, the character is strong, the writing's far better than just being competent. So, I'll definitely be reading more of these Matthew Scutter books, probably some with my eyes, some via audio book, but I did enjoy Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block.
LovedTruly, do yourself a favor. Just read the first one, or you could read them out of order, of course, but read The Sins of the Fathers.
What made the match, strongest first
