About this listen

Matthew Scudder gets hired by a fellow bar patron to prove his innocence. Salesman Tommy Tillary is a 45-year-old philanderer with a Manhattan girlfriend and a Brooklyn wife. So when Tommy becomes a suspect in the murder of his wife, it's up to Matt to find the real killer.

I loved it. Reminds me of the Mickey Spilane novels of my youth. I'm glad the bad guy got it in the end.

Book three of the Matt Scherer short stories written and read by Lawrence Block. Scherer relates the time a drinking acquaintance hired him to look into the killing of his wife on the evening of the burglary of their apartment. Block really becomes the lagubrious and cynical loner ex- cop as he tells the story. So much packed into so short a time without, it seems, even trying.
Excellent.
My thanks to the Audible + programme for the free Audible download.
