Title: Boooooooorrrrrrrring!
Review: I couldn't believe this warmed-over Spenser novel. I was a big fan of the series early on, but it's just slid downhill over the years. The early novels had wit and charm, but these just seem like a couple of lame old guys going through their tired old "white guy black guy" routine.Here's a fact for you: BOTH Susan and Hawk use the line "Another fine mess you've gotten us into, Ollie." What, was Parker watching Laurel and Hardy or something while he was writing this? Have Hawk and Susan gotten so boring, old-fashioned and culturally similar that they quote 1920's movie stars? Or is Parker just phoning this crap in for another paycheck?Whatever it is, this one stinks. The characters and situations are hacknyed, the action dull, the dialog leaden. Avoid.
