Acerca de esta escucha

In his popular Matt Scudder mystery series, Edgar and Shamus Award-winner Lawrence Block creates riveting stories set on the hardened streets of New York City. His suspenseful tale Even the Wicked portrays recovering alcoholic P.I. Matt Scudder, who is hot on the trail of a theatrical and twisted criminal.

A demented serial killer, who calls himself "The Will of the People", has gained a wide audience by sending warning letters to the Daily News. When "Will" names a prominent criminal defense attorney as his next victim, Matt suddenly finds himself protecting an old associate.

Matching his wits against the wily murderer, Matt must race to uncover "Will's" identity before he loses his lawyer friend.

Proclaimed a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, Lawrence Block skillfully captures the street-smart language and lifestyles of his home city. Narrator Mark Hammer provides the perfect voices for eccentric characters and evil-minded lawbreakers.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An ingenious whodunit that's also, in Block's recent manner, a provoking meditation on mortality - with a particularly strong supporting role for the City of New York, which turns in its finest performance since Ellery Queen's Cat of Many Tails." (Kirkus Reviews)

Great plot, horrible narrator.

Story line was great and intriguing. Mark Hammer made it almost unbearable. Please do not let him narrate anymore books.

Long and entertaining, even if fkawed

This wasn't my favorite Scudder; A Long Line of Dead Men was a hard act to follow. But that didn't warrant a full star off. 4.5 would have been about right. There were lot of storylines to keep the reader occupied, and hence value for the buck, even if it didn't always cohere perfectly.

The primary story line was too easy to guess, but the book was only 1/3 over when it was resolved. Block still had other fish to fry. Some of what followed felt like different stories altogether, but that's OK.

Mark Hammer did his usual, droll good job of narration.

Not the best of Matthew Skudder

But a wonderful storyteller. I like slow stories as well as fast ones. The reader fits very well to Block's style.

One of Mr. Block's best, which is saying something

Even the wicked has one of the best plot lines that Mr. Block has ever written. Truly. A mysterious man who calls himself "Will of the People" has begun killing victims in New York. He writes letters to a columnist for the Post, teasing readers with who the next victim will be and how/when Will will strike. Some of the murders are truly mind-blowing. Naturally Matt gets himself deeply involved in the drama, with no regard whatsoever for his own safety or for Elaine's. The twists and turns keep you glued to your ear phones. Mark Hammer does his usual excellent work. He has begun to sound like a junior George Guidall, certainly a fine fine thing. His voice is more gravelly and full of nuance. The political ambitions of various law enforcement personnel get caught up with Will's machinations. City and Federal officers get all twisted around trying to be the hero who saves NYC and makes the city breathe a sigh of relief. Meanwhile Matt's usual sojourn through his sobriety and his loving relationship with Elaine and also his paternal-like interactions with TJ: all of these make for interesting reading, even if they are beginning to become a bit repetitive. Matt's interactions with Anita, his ex-wife, and their two sons could be excised from the book. I just don't see what purpose they serve in the novel. Yes, Matt is morose. We see why he poured himself into the bottle for decades. However, people do get better! Take heart, all ye Friends of Bill. A normal life is attainable, one day at a time.

The previous narrator did a much better read

This narrator has no different voice for any of the characters... and his delivery is bland...
Block tells a great story... but this narrator didn't do justice to it
