Title: How Was Revenge Served?
Review: I am a fairly good fan of the Spenser/Hawk books. At least I know what to expect concerning dialogue, etc. I even know what kind of shoes the characters wear.This one was fairly predictable. Hawk spoke more Ebonics than usual and of course had to lose his intelligent African-American girlfriend.This time Hawk and Boots, the Ukrainian mob boss, were main protagonists.After the climax of the story, Boots should have been left for a subsequent novel.Parker often has characters reappear in subsequent books.The Gray Man showed up in this one. Boots could have shown up in a sequel, because the final interaction between Hawk and Boots in this book was never fully explained. I think Chapters 58-61 would have made more sense in a later book, with explanation, of course.
