Product Description

As a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and multiple Edgar Award winner, Block is one of the premier crime writers of the 20th century. He has written over 50 novels, and five different mystery series. A stand-alone mystery, Small Town just so happens to be one of Block's best yet! Here, he delivers a mesmerizing thriller that wholly embraces New York, the city he knows and loves so well. Characters include a writer on the verge of a breakthrough, a charismatic ex-police commissioner on the verge of a mental collapse, a folk art dealer plumbing the depths of her own ferocious sexuality, and a quirky lawyer who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness. And in the shadows of a city reeling from the September 11th terrorist attacks, an unlikely mass murderer begins to wage a one-man war against all.

Rivetting 18 Nov 2009
By Jl Adcock TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
To say Lawrence Block is a prolific writer barely does the man justice. He seems to churn out new titles with amazing regularity - and I've never read a dud. Small Town had me gripped right through until the end, and I cannot recommend it highly enough as a page-turning thriller, but also as a study of a city coming to terms with tragedy and loss on a huge scale. The plotting is absolutely meticulous, and one of Block's many strengths is to set his characters problems and then explain how they solve them - in crisp, clear, wonderfully written prose that demands your attention.

"Unputdownable" is an over-used label by reviewers, but in the case of Small Town, completely justified.

A story of |New York 11 May 2006
Format:Paperback
I loved this book!

I'm a fan of Block, I'll admit this up front. But this is a great book.

It is a snap-shot of 'small town' New York. Centred around a district of the city it tells the story of a writer & a range of other characters. It is mellow, erotic & increasingly page-turning. In the end I was hoping the story would not end.

A one-off novel of class & distinction. A great read.

Block at his best 23 April 2004
Format:Paperback
OK, it's not Matt Scudder but it is compulsive stuff. Once you are into ityou will find any distraction unbearable. Block has this ability, justlike his friend Mcbain, to make his books the most important part of yourlife for as long as you are reading them.
Don't want to give away theplot, just to say that it is well up to Block's previous work and hisamazing skill in holding you on the edge of your seat until the last page.
