I've read two other series by Block: "Evan Tanner" and "Bernie Rhodenbarr." The latter was thoroughly enjoyable with its twists. Having found several of the first books in this series---"Matthew Scudder"---I decided to give it a chance. Especially since I bought them, on the cheap, in a thrift store.

This first book has a sexual theme, but there are no "steamy passages." It is a short and quick read, as other reviewers noted too. Unfortunately, I figured out the story's secret by the third chapter. Which is why I rated it with three stars. But "Matthew Scudder" himself seems to be a nice guy.
