Title: A good read, but comes up short of Spenser.
Review: I have been a huge fan of the Spenser books for a long time now and always look foward to the release of a new Robert B. Parker book. This new character is good, but lacks the spark (and wit) of Spenser.Sunny Randall is, however, a much more exciting character than Parker created in his Jesse Stone books. I especially enjoyed the interaction between her ex-husband and her gay friend Spike. They are so different and yet so alike.Despite the short-comings of this book, it is still a wonderful read. Nobody gives rich dialouge like Parker. And it is amazing how much excitement Parker can pack into the 3 page showdown between Sunny and the villian at Tony Marcus' resturant.It's just sad to have your appitite whet with Tony Marcus and Ty-bop and not have Spenser around. Well, I guess we just have to wait another six months ...
