Negative Positive
Title: Many plots
Review: First, I read a lot of mysteries and I'm a very strong, long term fan of the modern semi-hard-boiled, yet sensitive, Spenser series by Robert B. Parker.But ... Bad Business is different from most of Parker's - it doesn't seem quite "fair" in the sense the reader could not have put it all together before the end (at least THIS reader certainly couldn't!). Spenser is fine, Susan is fine, Hawk is fine, just too many other characters, too many plots, too many hard-to-believe circumstances - the ending seems contrived ... one of numerous possible scenarios, most hard to believe.Sorry, it was OK, but far from his best ... which are REALLY good!! If you're new to the series start with another one, i.e., better and more representative. If you're committed to reading them all, maybe you'll do better with this one than I did ... :>)
