Review title: Poor Spenser
Product review: Reading the latest Spenser novel, Potshot, by Robert Parker was a depressing event. It seems another of my favorite authors has lost sight of the creative standards that made earlier writings captivate me. Mr. Parker falls back on repetitions of past works, inane dialogue and lukewarm narrative in this story. I read through the book, hoping that eventually I would come across the elegant writing that made so many of the earlier Spenser novels so readable. I never found it. Mr. Parker would be wiser to retire Parker, Susan and Pearl to a small cottage in Concord and move on.
