Some very unexpected plot twists. My first Scudder. I know he and Westlake were friends so I expected more of that style. I'll keep going...pas mal.
I borrowed the audiobook of this novel, and I'm glad I came across it. I've completely given up on Robert Parker's Spenser series after Judas Goat, so I'm very pleased to have a new hard-boiled series to try out. I've been watching HBO's The Deuce so it was so easy to picture the scenes in the novel in 1970s NYC. I like Scudder, I fully believe that he cares and doesn't care equally, makes for a great hard-boiled detective.
