A Dance at the Slaughterhouse: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel by Lawrence Block

4.0

9 books in and just when I was feeling like Matthew Scudder was becoming predictable Lawrence Block throws this ending at me… Well played Mr. Block.

The only thing holding this back from that magical 5th star is that there are maybe a few too many coincidences that tie the 2 cases together here. Normally that would make me groan and roll my eyes but for whatever reason it actually kind of almost works in the horrible, dirty, grimy world that Scudder exists in.

4.4 stars
