A Candle for the Bag Lady by Lawrence Block

3.0

Another solid short-story from the perspective of part-time detective/full-time drunk Matthew Scudder. At first, the detective's actions not factoring directly into the solution of the murder mystery bothered me, but after thinking about it, his tertiary involvement and self realization about his role in the case made more sense, and was more realistic, in a certain way.
