The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block
4.0
Another BR with Manju.
Have been wanting to read a Mathew Scudder book for long.. and jumped in at this opportunity.. and it was a short but satisfactory read.
A young girl who had left her loving home and had questionable means of earning livelihood is murdered by bloodbath. Her house mate , a younger man , who is estranged feom his priest father is found semi inaked and covered in blood on the road near their apartment. He is caught, imprisoned ... and within a few hours, commits suicide.
The girl's father wants to know the reason behind these unseeming acts. He employs Mathew Scudder, who gets to the core of the matter.
Enjoyed this tale of love gone astray and longings never satisfied.
Guessed at the killer as well as the reason behind it by about approx 60% ... and patted self when proven correct.
Would recommend this to anyone who likes a good psychological murder mystery .
Would definitely continue with the series .
