Larry Block

Only recently has Larry Block been sufficiently praised for all the wonderful things he's done for the mystery novel.

Some prefer the Matt Scudder novels (dark) to the Bernie Rhodenbarrs (light), but most people are sensible enough to enjoy and admire them each in their way. He is the pro's pro, sleek, savvy, relentless, and always capable of startling you.

A serious look at Block's career, which began in the late fifties, also becomes a serious look at the crime field in general during that same amount of time. He has written spies, capers, private detectives, noirs, and espionage-changing with the times, but never being merely faddy. He has brought something new and engaging to every sub-genre he's worked in.

He also said the truest thing ever uttered about mystery novels, that there are two kinds-those with cats and those without.
