The Girl with the Long Green Heart by Lawrence Block
Written to a boiling level to send the reader into the stew only to find it’s a stew tough to figure. Block writes it even. Seems little to figure beyond. Then it hits. Bad for me I figured it early and wish the hits had bigger punches.
The characters are typical Block slick. Regular Joes are not to be found. Lots of depth and purpose with a dark edge.
The tale is rather dark, too. Well plotted, despite a rocky start. After the page count, there was a feeling of abandonment as the story seemed incomplete. Still another well written Block tale, though not one of his better efforts, still better than most.
Bottom line, I recommend this book. 6 out of 10 points.
