A Stab in the Dark by Lawrence Block

4.0

Definitely my favorite in the series since the first volume: the mystery is solid, the characters interesting, and Scudder gets closer to acknowledging the impact of his alcoholism. I also liked how Scudder always has a clearer view of what his investigations mean than anyone around him; there's a moving passage in this book as a woman realizes her marriage is falling apart, not because of what Scudder has found, but because of the questions she and others are finally facing.
