: I checked my shelf and i did try a Block book, Hit List. It was ok - but not one of his series, Matthew Scutter isn't it? Anyways, do you recommend one?
: I grabbed California Girl by Parker....I figure it one the Edgar so it should be pretty good....
Hi Jared!
Parker's Silent Joe won the Edgar, too, and I'm partial to that one as well as the new one, The Fallen, and the first one I read, Summer of Fear. I would have suggested a Matt Scudder before Hit Man or Hit List, given what I'm guessing I know about your taste. Why don't you try Eight Million Ways to Die or When the Sacred Ginmill Closes? Ginmill is Block's favorite of that series, too.
