Title: Recycled Spenser and Hawk
Review: I have read all of Robert Parker's Spenser books and have been a great fan of the character and Mr. Parker's way with conversation. But this latest adventure is tired, trite and recycled. As someone in another review said; the conversations between Hawk and Spenser and between Susan and Spenser have become tiring and repetitive. What was fresh and amusing and thoughtful has become worn and old.Ukrainians owning and controlling a town of 80,000 people. An Afghan warlord supplying heroin. FBI and CIA contributing to the mixture. Cold blooded, callous murder and too many references to friendship.The story line is convoluted and the denouement quite unbelievable.What I wouldn't give to see a book that had the excitement, perception and intelligence of his early works!!
