Acerca de esta escucha
This is a city that seduces dreamers - then eats their dreams.
Matthew Scudder understands the futility of his search for a longtime missing Midwestern innocent who wanted to be an actress in the vast meat-grinder called New York City. But her frantic father heard that Scudder is the best, and now the ex-cop turned private investigator is scouring the hell called Hell's Kitchen looking for anything that might resemble a lead. And in this neighborhood of the lost, he's finding love - and death - in the worst possible places.

In this first in a series of wickedly funny mysteries, best-selling author Lawrence Block introduces Bernie Rhodenbarr, sometimes burglar, sometimes sleuth. Pulling only an occasional, very discreet job, Bernie manages to maintain his comfortable New York City apartment and keep his unorthodox vocation a closely-guarded secret. Every burglar knows never to trust anonymous phone calls. But when the caller offers easy money for an hour's work, Bernie can't ignore the job.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

As a sixteen-year-old, Tessa Cartwright was found in a Texas field, barely alive amid a scattering of bones, with only fragments of memory as to how she got there. Ever since, the press has pursued her as the lone surviving “Black-Eyed Susan”, the nickname given to the murder victims because of the yellow carpet of wildflowers that flourished above their shared grave. Tessa’s testimony about those tragic hours put a man on death row.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

Finally a narration that does justice to the character of Matthew Scudder and the incredible writing of Block. Every book just gets better.

Very Good Mystery
I enjoyed the tempo of the story and the main character. I picked it because it is a detective mystery and that Dan Butler did the performance. He's great. one thing I didn't like was the confession part be ause I prefer the detective to find the clues to solve the crime. The ending was surprising.

I used to like these books
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
If you want to know all about AA this is the book for you.
If you’ve listened to books by Lawrence Block before, how does this one compare?
This book is my least favorite of his books. I don't thing I will buy another. Good luck with Aa
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Over all its fine.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No, I don't like have AA and other drugs shoved down my through.

Best in the series
I have read maybe a dozen books and short stories in the Matthew Scudder series and this ranks as the best. The story was great and the narration very good. This series has had many narrators some good some not. This seemed like a good fit for the legendary detective. The Scudder series can be read in or out of order. If someone was looking to dip their feet into the series for the first time, this is the book I would recommend.

brilliant performance
Dan Butler does a really superb job, but so subtle you don't realize it until you think about it. And, that's exactly the way it should be. Block has really set a higher bar with this story. Between Block and Butler the characters are impressively vivid and the dialogue is smart. All around truly enjoyable.
