This is the 1st Sunny Randall book. If you like any of Robert Parker's characters (Jesse Stone, Spenser), then you will like Sunny Randall. In fact, I think I like her better than either of the other two! She is smart, sassy & has a cast of supporting characters - including a not-too-ex-husband - that these books extremely readable & very fun!

Sunny is completely different than Spenser...okay, not completely...okay, not that much...but there is a reason why Robert B. Parker is well-loved and it's because his private eyes are snarky, smart, and surprisingly complex. Sunny is no exception. It is easy to overlook some striking similarities to Spenser because Sunny is such a fun character on her own, and in this book you get to see her at her best!

Parker's books are so funny and so scary, both at the same time. Unforgettable stories and characters, this one starring Sunny Randall.

Parker was a good writer--pithy, to the point, no wasted words. His Sunny Randall series isn't quite as good as his Spenser series, but it's still a great read.

This is the first of Parker's Sunny Randall novels and the first that I have read. I thought it was very enjoyable - a fast-paced thriller very similar to the Spenser novels but with a female PI. The plot involved the disappearance of a 15-year old girl who turns to prostitution on the streets of Boston. Sunny finds her but there is more to her story than simply running away from her parents who have pretty much neglected her for all of her life. It turns out the mob is looking for her for witnessing a conspiracy involving a hit on someone involved with her mother. Anyway, in the end Sunny sorts this all out with the help of her ex-husband, Ritchie whose family is tied to the mob in Boston. Overall, I would recommend this one and will be reading more in the series.

This female character- Sunny Randall - is absolutely delightful. Great reading: once I start reading, can't put it down. I like Robert Parker again.

This was volume 1, the first time we meet Sunny Randall.I have enjoyed later adventures but in Book 1, you meet a new friend and get to know her. A fresh new face. I try to seek out first impressions.

Parker introduces a new character in the form of Sunny Randall, private eye. The first chapter is Sunny's background that is quite complete. Parker's funny writing style does not return until mid-book. Then the fun begins.

PRIVATE EYE SUNNY RANDALL IS AS GOOD AS SPENSER COULD EVER BE. IF YOU LIKE THE SPENSER NOVELS, YOU WILL LIKE SUNNY ALSO.

An entertaining read. "The author of the bestselling Spenser novels introduces a heroine unlike any other - private eye Sunny Randall. She is street smart, sexy and suddenly thrown into a Boston mob war where high stakes politics and low-down killers conspire to make Sunny's first case her last..."
