MATT SCUDDER RETURNS
More than 40 years after his debut and nearly a decade since his last appearance, one of the most renowned characters in all of crime fiction is back on the case in this major new novella by Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Lawrence Block.
Well past retirement age and feeling his years - but still staying sober one day at a time - Matthew Scudder learns that alcoholics aren't the only ones who count the days since their last slip. Matt's longtime partner, Elaine, tells him of a group of former sex workers who do something similar, helping each other stay out of the life. But when one young woman describes an abusive client who's refusing to let her quit, Elaine encourages her to get help of a different sort. The sort only Scudder can deliver.
A Time to Scatter Stones offers not just a gripping crime story but also a richly drawn portrait of Block's most famous character as he grapples with his own mortality while proving to the younger generation that he's still got what it takes. For Scudder's millions of fans around the world (including the many who met the character through Liam Neeson's portrayal in the film version of A Walk Among the Tombstones), A Time to Scatter Stones is an unexpected gift - a valedictory appearance that will remind listeners why Scudder is simply the best there is.

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.

Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads solitary outcasts through hostile territory to escape the vengeance of their enemies. But the shaded forest paths her Seneca ancestors might have followed on such missions have all been converted to superhighways, and now the safest way stations are crowded urban buildings that offer the camouflage of anonymity. Still, the supply of runaways - and the need for a woman who will take great risks to save them - have never been greater.

Lovely to reconnect!
I had read some of the other reviews, and one, in particular, had commented that Lawrence Block should have had a professional reader read the book because he was too monotone. At first, I agreed. however, it wasn't long before the voice became Matthew Scudder to me and it felt like I was sitting down with Scudder himself telling me the story. I love that it was done this way! It was incredible to have a Scudder in my living room with me.

A Poetic Meditation on Time
Now this was a surprise: a new Matthew Scudder novella, appearing years after author Lawrence Block appeared to have closed the metaphorical book on his famed private investigator.
While I always enjoy the chance to spend time with Matt and his wife Elaine, their company is far from the only delight contained herein. What I've always loved about the Scudder books is that the detective has aged in (near) real-time. Now, several decades after his first appearance, he's bordering on elderly. More than any other Scudder story, this tale makes aging, and the passage of time, a central theme.
In fact, the mystery here is almost inconsequential. Sure, Scudder has a client who needs assistance. But that part of the story is only a prism, through which Block examines the way age changes us. In the hands of a less-gifted writer, this might border on self-indulgence, or even pretension. Not so here. At no point do Matt and Elaine's conversations, or Scudder's ruminations, become anything less than fascinating.
Lawrence Block narrates the story himself, and does a fine job. I've enjoyed his narration since I first heard his reading of "The Burglar in the Library." His decision to narrate the book himself feels appropriate to the themes of the story. This tale needs the voice of a man who has the benefit of experience behind it.
One note for long-time fans of the series: this is a Matt and Elaine story, first and foremost. Fans should know that TJ and Mick Ballou, although mentioned, do not appear.

A blight on the characters we've come to trust
Don't get sucked in to downloading this one just because you think it is a Matt Scudder story. Even Matt himself would say it is sleazy trash. He and Elaine would be mortified with disgust!

Couldn’t finish this audio novella
I wanted to like this after hearing Michael Connelly’s recommendation of the Scudder series on podcast. I will try the earlier series to see if I can find a connect to the character as a younger detective.
It felt like it made my commute longer as I could find no hook with the story to pull me in.

Really? The dialogue is weak because it is exactly how we talk. The story? Well, spoiler alert. Retired cop beats up stalker of a working girl and everybody gets turned on.
