Industry Reviews "Mr. Block has never--except, perhaps, in an earlier Scudder novel, 'When the Sacred Ginmill Closes'--been in better form. His portrait of a man who has reached the age when he turns first to the obituary page and becomes depressed over his own life choices is letter perfect. His decidedly dark sense of humor has never been more in focus." David Willis McCullough
"Block has never been in better form....his decidedly dark sense of humor has never been more in focus." Lehmann-Haupt
"Fiendishly clever...a welcome visit from an old friend...Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder series is one of the sure things in crime fiction and 'A Long Line of Dead Men' carries it forward with a fine flourish." Lehmann-Haupt
"Ingenious...satisfying...consistently strong...it's a good one." Lehmann-Haupt
