as always.

Good Spenser read, as usual, but a little complicated story line. He gets involved in a very detailed and complex situation, and works hard to make it end right.

I love Robert B. Parker’s style of writing. Spencer is such a complex character. From the way he describes the clothing of the men he encounters with the eye of a fashionista to his skills in the kitchen he is such fun. I love his quick wit. I find myself smiling in appreciation of his spot on barbs. Need to get to the end of the book to completely understand the whodunnit. Parker is an expert at giving his characters many layers and enticing the reader to discover each one.
