The Sins of the Fathers Audiobook

" read a couple of years ago. "

" More book candy. "

" The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block is the first of the Matthew Scudder series. I can't give a higher compliment than this: I'm looking forward to reading all the rest of them. "

" Scudder looks into a seemingly open and shut murder of a call girl. I liked this one a lot, even though I was pretty sure who real killer was about halfway into it. It's a short novel and could be read in a weekend. Bourbon and coffee fuel Scudder as he retraces the life of a sad young woman turned call girl. "

" Block's Matthew Scudder protagonist is quite a sad character. I've read others of Block's books with Scudder, but I don't remember them being such a downer. This is the first in the series & I decided to start at the beginning. I like Block's writing & fortunately because he writes such a good story, I did enjoy the book. And I try another Scudder book, but wish Block would write more "Burgular" books! "

" This is the second in the Matthew Scudder series that I've read. It'll probably be the last. I didn't see any improvement in the protagonist. I'd like for him to have at least a bit of an arc. He starts out a drunk and ends that way. Plus, the plot seems to trudge along. "

" The first Matt Scudder novel. Block is a master of the genre. Quick, hard hitting, and a completely enjoyable ride. "

" I've been reading Matthew Scudder books for nearly 20 years, so I'm not sure how I had never read the first one. And while the character was not as well-developed as he would later be, Block sure can write. "

" Excellent book. I love this series. "

" Block is a master of stripped-down noir, and this book is no exception. But it's a journeyman's story, nothing particularly startling or surprising. If you're in the mood for a short, sour noir tale, this won't disappoint. But if you're looking to be gripped, this isn't the one. "

" Murder-suicide..or is it? Scudder searches for answers. Dated by the absence of things high-tech this mystery,however,is as great today as it was in the 70's. "

" The first Matthew Scudder book is a solid crime mystery. Definitely good enough for me to download the second one right away. "

" I was really looking for a great series but this isn't it for me. Not enough excitement to warrant reading #2. "

" A quick read, Block accomplishes a lot in a relatively short book. You really don't get a true sense who Scudder is until you are done with the book, but it's an easy read. "

" The Matthew Scudder books are awfully good! "

" Matt Scudder mystery and I will read more of this character. Block wrote the Hit Man books which I really liked "

" this is the first in the Matthew Scudder series and I really liked it. I have not read many books featuring private investigators, but I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see the evolution of this character. "

" Classic noir. Classic hard-boiled. Just plain classic! Just finished this five minutes ago and am already starting Time to Murder and Create. Where has this man been hiding? "

" great gritty tight novel.reads fast.No wated words!excellent! "

" Not up to Block's usual standards "

" I really enjoyed the mystery and will read more to find out what happens to Matt Scudder in his life, however these books are not for people who want a light-hearted mystery read. It's rather a very gritty book. "

" If you like Chandler,this is good ! "

" This was a good mystery - even the christian part wasn't too offensive. Usually kindle freebies are a little long on Christian and short on story - this one was an exception to the rule. "

" For some reason i kept comparing this to Robert B Parker's Spencer PI novels...this wasnt as good though. "

" One of the first books in the Matthew Scudder series. This was a pretty short book without many of the supporting characters that become regulars in the series. "

" The 1st in the Matt Scudder series, I really enjoyed this book & story. The lead character is intriguing & I look forward to see how this series pans out. "
