A Long Line of Dead Men

Name: A Long Line of Dead Men

Question 1

The story moves at just the right speed to build suspense without feeling rushed. I wonder if this pacing was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Question 2

The character's backstory added depth, but I was curious whether that was a deliberate choice to humanize the detective or just a side effect.

Question 3

The atmosphere felt authentic and immersive, making me wonder whether Lawrence Block based it on a real city or crafted it entirely from imagination.

Question 4

The way the suspects are interconnected hints at deeper themes about heritage and secrets. It made me think about how much of the story was planned versus developed during writing.
