A Drop of the Hard Stuff | Lawrence Block

2 posts | 4 read | 6 to read

"Right up there with Mr. Block's best....A DROP OF THE HARD STUFF keeps us guessing."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal Facing his demons in his first year of sobriety, Matthew Scudder finds himself on the trail of a killer. When Scudder's childhood friend Jack Ellery is murdered, presumably while attempting to atone for past sins, Scudder reluctantly begins his own investigation, with just one lead: Ellery's Alcoholics Anonymous list of people he wronged. One of them may be a killer, but that's not necessarily Scudder's greatest danger. Immersing himself in Ellery's world may lead him right back to the bar stool. In a novel widely celebrated by critics and readers, Lawrence Block circle back to how it all began, reestablishing the Matthew Scudder series as one of the pinnacles of American detective fiction.

Delicious! Don't hold back! Lawrence Block is a rightfully awarded master writer and this story of alcoholics recovering and the slippery steps involved leading to murder is a winner.

A nice return to form with Matt telling an old story from his first year of sobriety. This functions as a guide to AA as much as a detective story with the crime revolving around the 12-step program and Matt recounting some detail about every meeting he attends. And he attends a lot of meetings. Sometimes more than one a day. Still, somehow it works.
