Summary
An ancient brotherhood meets annually in the back room of a swank Manhattan restaurant, a fraternity created in secret to celebrate life by celebrating its dead. But the past three decades have not been kind to the Club of 31. Matthew Scudder - ex-cop and ex-boozer - has known death in all its guises, which is why he has been asked to investigate a baffling thirty-year run of suicides and suspiciously random accidents that has thinned the ranks of this very select group of gentlemen.
But Scudder has mortality problems of his own, for his is a city that feeds mercilessly on the unsuspecting - even the powerful and those who serve them are easy prey. There are too many secrets here, too many places fora maddeningly patient serial killer to hide…and wait…and strike.

Disappointing
The series has been great so far - but A Long Line of Dead Men was a let down. The continuity was not there - detective stories need to bring the reader/listener along but the “who done it?” of this book was just a blind jump. The conclusion/payback totally implausible. On the positive side there were some great tales and jokes and, as ever, Mr Block’s descriptive writing was peerless.

Poor
I found this one boring and tedious. And it seemed to drag on for ages and eventually I gave up an hour before the end.
