“[These
Matthew Scudder short] stories could serve as either a companion to the books,
if you’ve read them, or an introduction to the characters if you have not.
However, if this is the first exposure you have to Scudder, I encourage you to
read a bit more before taking in “One Last Night at Grogan’s.” This story is a
touching cap to the characters and story lines. If there are no more Scudder
tales to be told, this is the perfect ending.”
