Media Reviews

"The old pros can make it look easy, and that goes for both the author and his hero as they deliver the goods smoothly and with inimitable style." - PW.
"Spenser, who seems to alternate these days between meaty cases and time-passers, follows School Days with a thin tale of trouble among high-class prostitutes whose only distinction is bringing back a familiar face from the past." - Kirkus.
"No Spenser novel fails to be entertaining, but Parker just may be doing better work these days with his two other series characters, Sunny Randall and Jesse Stone. Here's hoping he gets the big guy back on track. " - Booklist.
