Title: Welcome, Spike!
Review: Why did Robert Parker give Sunny Randall (a daintier version of Spenser) her own book, other than to give Helen Hunt a job? The best character in this book by far is Spike, the gay restaurateur/tough guy. You have to love a man so comfortable with himself that when he's asked how he can bench-press 225 pounds, he nonchalantly replies, "Fag power." Parker could do amazing things with this character, but instead he relegates Spike to Hawk status. Don't get me wrong--Sunny's okay, but Spike's the reason I'll continue reading this series.
