Read from June 21 to 29, 2011

Very engaging story. Block adds a new wrinkle to a fairly standard PI novel by addressing the effects of alcoholism on the main character. The mystery is first-rate, very character-driven.

My only complaint--and the only thing keeping this from a 5 stars--is the ending is a little forced since

[MINOR SPOILER]
... the killer turns out be a character we have not met previously in the story...

[END SPOILER]

Highly recommended to mystery fans.
