the 17-book series about a depressed guy

the fourth book is called a stab in the dark and this is definitely the second best next to eight million ways to die of the first five that I've read

eight million ways to die is absolutely the best book in the series that I've read so far are it has a great mystery with some great characters but it is it's longer and it has way more there to say about Scudder and about New York City and about dealing with trauma dealing with the past

the first one is called Hitman and it's great you should read those very dry humor

in the midst of death is about a Cop turned informant who's trying to root out the corruption going on the police force very interesting details about you know corruption New York City cops scutters relationship to that

I will say one big Mark against the sins of the fathers because it's a fantastic mystery my one problem is that the conclusion is so like 70s pop psychology like Freudian nightmare like very dated very clumsy like an explanation that's satisfying but like the deeper like psychological stuff I'm glad that got abandoned in the later books

time to murder and create I think this is the second one this has a great story a great mystery that's about there's a blackmailer who is friends with Scudder
