" What I love about these books is that they are so raw! Although Matt Scudder seems very detached this also makes him very deep. Now reading the next one, which is somewhat longer "

" Matthew Scudder 4. Very strong story, excellent characterizations. "

" Another cold blast from Matt Scudder's drunk days. Again, it's so striking how messed up the guy was in the early books. It's almost like, as NYC goes, so goes Matt Scudder. This one takes place in '81, when the city was still basically a hellhole, though it was a blast reading about Cobble and Boerum Hills being on the up-and-coming track. Ha! Mystery was, like, whatever, but it's really about spending time with Scudder - - wearing his skin - - indulging in his habits - - for a little while. "

" If you love a simply good mystery, you'll love this one by Lawrence Block. In the fourth installment of the Matthew Scudder series, Matt Scudder is assigned a 9-year-old cold case murder of Barbara Ettinger from her father, Charles London. Scudder, ex-cop and an alcoholic, is on the case, and talked to the people involved in the case, including her family. One by one, he's building up facts and compiling theories, while people tried to scare him off. He didn't phase him. He kept on talking to people and revisiting the clues, until he solved it right into the end. A good quick read. "

" Matthew Scudder has a problem, and to keep from dwelling on it he takes on an almost impossible task: find out who performed a copycat murder nine years ago. But along the way, he finds his situation reflected in other folks' lives, and sooner or later he will have to make decisions. A great read. "
