Explanation Concering Books A Ticket to the Boneyard (Matthew Scudder #8)

Matt Scudder put the brilliant and elusive James Leo Motley behind bars - for good, or so he hoped. Because Motley went down swearing revenge on Scudder and anyone who knew him. Twelve years later, Motley is out and giving his psychopathic tendencies free rein. No one is safe, friends, lovers and even strangers unfortunate enough to share the Scudder name. Each step in the resulting grisly dance takes the Big Apple PI one step further away from Al-Anon and one step nearer to death.

Comment On Epithetical Books A Ticket to the Boneyard (Matthew Scudder #8)

I was introduced to the Matthew Scudder series a bit less than 2 years ago and this is the 8th book of his I've read. I keep coming back to this series because the writing is crisp and the characters really leap off the page. This book is no different. Scudder and the various denizens of New York City ring true in a way that few writers can achieve. Scudder is still fighting his own demons, a war he's taking one day at a time. In between AA meetings, Scudder's past comes back to haunt him in the

A Ticket to the Boneyard is a whole new ballgame in the Matt Scudder series. After allowing Matt to confront his alcoholism in Eight Million Ways to Die and focusing on him dealing with sobriety in Out on the Cutting Edge , author Lawrence Block now has a blank slate and the space to really take Matt's story in any direction. But one would think that after your private detective character sobers up, the stories are in real danger of becoming flat and boring. Not so with Block's series!

Lawrence Block is the grand master of "same, but different".A TICKET TO THE BONEYARD is entirely different from its predecessor OUT ON THE CUTTING EDGE, yet offers a powerful new chapter in Matthew Scudder's evolution. What makes this Scudder novel stand out is how it discusses abuse and what kind of person perpetuates it. The antagonist James Leo Motley is sneaky, cold blooded, manupulative and obsessed. He's not even on the page for most of the novel and yet he shapes and informs the story.

My favourite so far of this great series.Lots of unexpected turns in the plot and a very satisfactory ending and most importantly, the scariest psychopathic bad guy ever !Like the way that Scudder's character has developed throughout the series and enjoyed this one all the more for having read the previous 7 books but if you were to read just one of the series, this would be the one that I would recommend.Completely unputdownable at times - almost missed my bus stop and ended up at the airport

A sick sonovabitch woman-hating torture-freak like James Leo Motley deserved to be behind bars. That's what NYPD cop Scudder thought twelve years ago whenwith the help of two whores' false testimonyhe framed him and sent him up the river to Dannemora. But now Motley is loose again, one of those whores has been tortured and murdered, and private eye Scudder has begin to fear for every woman he has ever loved.What I like best about this book is that Motley is so evil, and so gifted in everything

Robust though not my favorite entry in the hardboiled Matt Scudder series. We watch the tenacious Matt's day-to-day grind to stay off the devil's rum in NYC. Violence only erupts at key points in the plot. Wonderful voice and setting. Worth re-reading, if time permits it.

This might be the most intense Matt Scudder book yet!Block kept up the tension by putting his main character at risk. That's something you can't do in every book, not in a detective series, and still maintain realistic integrity. But slid it in now and then and wow does it heighten the suspense!Creating a thoroughly despicable and tenacious villain is helpful, too. It's been a while since I've hated a character quite as much as James Leo Motley. (Is it mandatory that all serial killers have
