A Walk Among the Tombstones by Lawrence Block

5.0

Though rather graphic and gruesome, I couldn't put this down. I haven't read any of the others in the series, but it didn't feel as though I *had* to have the back knowledge as the relationships were explained well enough, without bogging a new reader down with too much information. The characters were well drawn, the plot gripping, and the writing top notch - the only mystery is why I haven't got around to trying this series before now!

The other thing I enjoyed was the reminders of how far technology has advanced in the last 30 or so years. Beepers, pay phones, and the new-fangled art of hacking all feature prominently, while caller ID and CCTV remain tools of the future...
