Ben’s comments from the Ask Bestselling Author Lawrence Block a Question group.

Hi, I'm a big fan of your Scudder series. It reignited my interest in mysteries when I discovered it 5 years ago. My personal favourites are "Eight Million Ways to Die", "A Walk Among the Tombstones" and "Everybody Dies". However, I do think that there are a few weaker novels in the series; specifically, I'm not big on "Time to Murder and Create", "In the Midst of Death", or "All the Flowers are Dying". To my mind, they're decent novels, but not up there with the highlights of the series. To each their own, obviously.

Anyway, my question is whether you have any particular favourites from the series; or, by contrast, whether there are any Scudder novels that you feel don't live up to the rest of the series?

Thanks for your time!
