The Professional (Spenser, Bk 38)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


I've been a fan since the early 90's when I read my first Spenser novel my senior year in high school. Spenser is an awesome character and will be fondly missed now that Parker has passed on. The Professional is no exception to a long line of Spenser novels. Spenser the ever stalwart detective can't resist digging further into a case that he was never officially hired for, because well...the psychology of it intrigues him. Must be the influence of his longtime girlfriend Susan Silverman or that Spenser is that guy. The guy who is there to save the damsels in distress, if only that were the case. How do you help damsels who keep getting in distress on purpose? How do you stop a guy who has the help of his so called victims? You follow him around and get to the bottom of it, even if it kills you.
