Title: Ho hum...
Review: I wonder if Robert Parker has grown tired of Spenser. I have. This book just doesn't have the same feel as some of his earlier books. In this one, I had a hard time liking Spenser. He has a drinking problem. He's no longer just a gormet. He's a glutton. Finally, Spenser feels a little better, but only after a short visit with his girlfriend. Give me a break! By the way, Susan (his girlfriend) was a pretty shallow character in this novel.The weak plot isn't anything we really care about, even though it's supposed to involve some pretty steamy stuff. Instead, it's about some pathetic, unlikeable people who do stupid things---not very exciting. Luckily, it's a quick read.
