In the Midst of Death

By: Lawrence Block

Narrated by: Alan Sklar

Jerry Broadfield thinks he's a good cop. But now he's been charged with extortion - and his former buddies in the NYPD would like to see him laid out on a morgue slab for squealing to a committee on police corruption. Suddenly, he's got a lot of enemies, and when a dead call girl turns up in his apartment, his troubles get even bigger. Broadfield screams "setup," but nobody believes him - except ex-policeman, now unlicensed PI Matthew Scudder. Because Broadfield turned traitor no cop is going to give Scudder any help with this investigation, so Scudder's on his own. But finding a killer among the stoolie cop's sleazebag connections is going to be as difficult as pouring a cold beer in hell - where some of Broadfield's enemies would like to see Scudder if he gets himself in too deep.

Really good

Always love the Scudder stories. Great character. Block is a wonderful ful storyteller. Can't wait wait to read his other series'.

A Calm Little Story

Matt is irresistible! Drunk or sober the women flock to him. He’s all right. He takes everything in stride. He finds out quickly if it’s love or not. Not is quicker; love takes years.

over the top in sexual explicitly!

Love the author, but this one was hard to listen to, and it was no fault of the talented narrator. Just descriptions got a little too much, and for me it took away from the story.

I enjoyed it.

This is my third listen from Mr. Block’s writings with this detective. I’ve enjoyed all three and look forward to the next.

CHOOSE CAREFULLY

It's not Mark Hammer ... not even sure it's Matt Scudder ... I got fooled only because it's Lawrence Block. If they're your favorites it can be tough when they switch on you.
