Summary: One of the Best Spensers
Comment: This is a great read! I've been away from the Spenser series for a while, and I've read that the novels had lost some of their spark recently. Not if this excellent outing is any indication. The plot is strong, (though a bit basic), but the interplay between Spenser, Hawk, Susan and the various characters is as sharp as ever. Parker has an excellent ear for dialogue, and it's a joy to read him. And Parker gives us an excellent villain who might (?) be a match for Spenser.
Check this one out - highly recommended, and perfect summer reading.

Summary: Excellent and Original
Comment: This is one of Parker's best. The mystery is new and fresh - Spenser is hired by a law firm to learn the truth about an old murder. The enigmatic Gray Man is powerful and very creepy; it's about time Spenser met an enemy worthy of him. Susan almost redeems herself for all the stupid things she's done in the past, and Hawk is as much fun as ever. After some pretty weak novels, like 'Thin Air' and 'Walking Shadow,' and the abominable 'Hugger Mugger,' this one proves that Parker hasn't lost it. Thank heaven.

Summary: Spenser is back!
Comment: After Chance and Thin Air left me disppointed, I was beginning to think the success of this series had gone to Parker's head and he'd stopped trying. I kept reading the last two offerings in the vain hope that a plot would emerge and that I would recongize some shred of the Spenser who hooked me on this series years ago. But after a string of books that seemed designed solely to put Spenser and Hawk into interesting locales and give them every opportunity to exchange witticisms, Small Vices is the real thing. Spenser has me hooked again. He's a little older and maybe a little wiser than the Spenser who first faced his own mortality in Valediction, but he hasn't lost that sense of honor and the need for justice that's always driven him. What he has finally shed is another layer of his stubborn autonomy, as his brush with death makes him dependent on his friends. Plenty of people care about this guy, with good reason... but for a few years there, I was starting to wonder why anyone stuck with him. Small Vices made me remember.
