Lawrence Block - You Can Call Me Lucky


Rating: 4/5

Review:
Classy and original crime writing

The pattern of these short stories is becoming clearer by the third one: she has sex with a man and then she kills him. It ought to be a bit repellent but Lawrence Bock carries it off with some style and a little wit, so they remain enjoyable. It’s the quality of the writing which keeps me reading this series of short stories and as the protagonist slowly begins to develop a story and a credible character I’m becoming more drawn in.

Best read as part of the full sequence and recommended.
