This is about my 3rd short story on kindle by L.B. Let me first say that I am a long time fan of Matt Scudder and find myself enjoying some in this series more than once.This story takes place after Elane's friend , Monica and her date, have left and she is alone with Matt.The four of them had just come back from a night on the town. Matt and Elaine continue thier discussion which had been focused on a suicide that had very recently taken place. Matt asks if the gun used in the suicide was an automatic or a revolver. How could that make a difference?How could a revolver or an automatic gun make a difference in a suicide? That's the entire basis for Matt's story as he begins to reflect on another suicide that took place years ago when he was on the beat with his partner.According to Matt the suicide could have happened one of the three ways. And the story begins...Wonderful short story, interesting and options for a suicide I would never have imagined. Matt Scudder is real. He is a real person with a real, quite believable life. I don't always agree with Matt's decisions but he's the man.Try it you'll like it. A true Matt Scudder original.
