First in series
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I looked up the old NPR "Crime in the City" series and Lawrence Block was featured in an episode.
Will I read more of the series?Probably Not Maybe Likely Most Likely Definitely This was the perfect length with the perfect amount of action blended with a sympathetic lead character. Additionally, NYC in the 70's was a good setting. (That's when the book was written. It is not a historical recounting.)
The narrator was Alan Sklar. He did a great job reading the ex-cop, Matt Scudder.
