This is the 11th Spenser novel & I think they are just getting better & better. These are fun, quick reads ... if you are already a Spenser fan, I need say no more. If you aren't, give them a try!
Wonderful Spenser novel.

Excellent read. I'm a big van of the Spenser novels - and I had missed this one. This is the one where Susan breaks with him and goes to CA.
Classic Spenser with a little more angst. Great read as always with Parker.
Another great Spencer detective novel. This one helps to explain Spenser's relationship with Susan.
A good spenser read but more subdued than others.
Parker is Parker, always a good read.
