A Dance at the Slaughterhouse: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel by Lawrence Block

3.0

3 1/2 stars. I love Matthew Scudder but this was such a walk down violent and seedy areas, things I'd never even want to contemplate. Saw a side of Scudder that I don't believe was ever repeated (I believe I've read all of his Scudder books). Meet TJ in this, a young street kid who helps Scudder out over the course of many of the books. I will say the last 50 pages I was glued to the book, nothing short of the power going out, so I can't see, would have stopped me from finishing it.
