Title: MERCILESS MERCI
Review: Parker picks up with Merci Rayborn from BLUE HOUR and thrusts her into the RED LIGHT. Parker is a marvelous writer, deft at both plotting and character development. And while I agree he's "somewhat softened" Merci, I still find her hard to like a hundred percent..and that's good in a way. What she does to Mike McNally in this book only accentuates her driven psyche...she even seduces Mike to gain evidence against him. Then she asks for his forgiveness. It's a shame, I think. I like Mike's character, and his involvement with the prostitute only proved that Merci was neglecting him in a big way. You can have friendship with a member of the opposite sex, and if he found himself "falling" for her, he realized that she was no good for him, and he was never unfaithful to Merci.Back to the plot, though. Parker interweaves the two seemingly disparate cases together to come up with a somewhat surprising solution to the murders.A complex, gritty novel.
