This is the second in the Scudder series, the character an alcoholic "PI" (unofficial since he doesn't like detail, reports, licensing, etc.) who, if someone needs a favor and offers, perhaps a gift in return, well possibly he will look into it. He tithes 10% to a church but is not religious, just finds them an interesting place to think.In this case, a fellow, a low life nicknamed "Spinner" gives Scudder an envelope and instructions to find his killer. Evidently his expectation is that his current activities may catch up with him, and they do. Interesting plot, well written in the usual Block style, unusual characters, a most worthy read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PURE CLASS... *by G***! on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 3, 2013* It takes a writer of wonderful skill and abilities to thoroughly entrap the reader of one of his books by the end of the first chapter. It takes a man of even greater talent to not only ensure the said reader gets their money's worth with the purchase of the book in question but to virtually guarantee life long support and loyalty of said reader by book's end. TIME TO MURDER AND CREATE is like this. It commences with an introduction to a character going by the name of 'Spinner', a down and out who occasioned throughout his adult life to have regular run ins with the law. By consistent quirks of fate, and an uncanny ability to take advantage of absolute and non absolute truths, this gentleman has always managed to stay out of gaol. By chapter's end, however, Mr Block has managed to lodge this man squarely and securely into our hearts. And with one quick, violent use of his pen, Spinner dies, and our hearts shatter into a thousand pieces quicker than our eyes skim across the kindle screen in utter and shocked, disbelief.Spinner was not exactly a saint. He was blackmailing three figures for various crimes against their own souls and it is up to our man Scudder to determine which of these blaggards did our man in. Each had their own motives, of course, but each possess their own set of idiosyncrasies which made the concept of murder implausible and even impossible for two of them.This really is a clever book. Only a master of the craft could write it. Mr Block is indeed, a Grandmaster of the genre and so it comes as no surprise that he wrote this.The story and plot itself is brilliant. The solution is brilliant. Full marks for this extraordinary effort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gritty, ex-cop Scudder *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 25, 2018* When “Spinner,” a petty thief known for spinning a silver dollar, gives Matthew Scudder an envelope in a bar to be opened only upon his death, little did he know that Spinner would be found in a river with his skull crushed just a few weeks later. It turns out that Spinner was blackmailing three prominent citizens for serious transgressions committed in their younger years.Scudder, a retired NYPD detective, could have walked away with the money that Spinner left in the envelope. However, even though he has been unemployed for a couple of years, he still retains the moral purpose that he had as a cop. He now makes it his mission to determine which of the three, if any, murdered Spinner. After surprise visits to all three, there is no clarity as to culpability, but he decides to let things percolate. The sorting out does occur rather quickly, but not without considerable danger to his well being.Scudder is an interesting character: a gritty, no nonsense kind of guy, but with a weakness for alcohol. The kind of guy one would like to have on one’s side when trouble hits. Perhaps not the greatest of plots, but a book with Scudder can’t be too bad. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7601359-time-to-murder-and-create-matthew-scudder-mysteries-book-2](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/7601359-time-to-murder-and-create-matthew-scudder-mysteries-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
