Title: Spenser On His Own
Product review: First--I did this book on unabridged audio CD. Joe Mantegna is amazing as Spenser on the audio books and he outdid himself here.This is rather unusual as a Spenser novel because Susan is gone and Hawk is not in the book. Spenser takes on what appears to be an open-and-shut case involving two teenaged students shooting up a school--outside Boston.As always, Parker's books are particularly enjoyable for their spare style combined with a real mastery of dialogue. Mantegna's presentation acts as a true partner to Parker's writing. I think Parker has more chapters for fewer lines than any other author.It appears that most Spenser readers are like me--looking forward to new installments of familiar characters. Even though Susan and Hawk are not factors in this book, it won't disappoint Spenser fans.
