From <i>A Long Line of Dead Men</I> until his last Scudder book, the titles in this series varied in word length. It was followed by <i>Even the Wicked</i>, <i>Everybody Dies</i> and <i>Hope to Die</i> (which seemed like an uninventive title at best for the follow-up to such a strong late series entry). Only with the latest Scudder, <i>All the Flowers are Dying,</i> did the titles go back to being five words long. Coincidence? Perhaps. But while I hadn't seen the same pattern you did, I must admit that the last of these titles feels the most Scudder-like of the bunch. Maybe you're on to something.

I did think Everybody Dies was a good title--it lent a nice shudder-y anticipation of doom that heightened suspense throughout the book--but Even the Wicked and Hope to Die were prosaic. Brian John,
