Product Description

With both the classic Spenser series and the more recent Jesse Stone novels, Robert B. Parker's spare prose and tight storytelling have earned him critical praise and popular success. In Family Honor, he creates an entirely new character - young, smart, and for the first time, female. Her name is Sunny Randall, a former cop turned Boston P.I.

Hired by a wealthy family to locate their teenage daughter, Sunny soon finds herself the bodyguard for a difficult teenager who refuses to return to her family. But before long, Sunny is facing greater problems than she ever imagined - including a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the top of the state government.

I really enjoyed the book - Robert B Parker is, after all, a brilliant writer - so it's very witty, fast moving, good plot - everything you've come to expect from a Parker novel. But all the time I just felt I was reading a Spenser novel - OK, Sunny Randall is female but she has the "odd ball" friends (for Hawk, read Spike), all the mob are still there (yes, you've guessed - Tony Marcos!) and the screwed-up 'adopted' kid (for Paul, read Millie). Even Pearl, oops sorry, Rosie, is there. Bit disappointing but hey, if it means more Parker, I can live with it!

I Like Sunny! 5 Mar 2003
Format:Hardcover
Yes, there's similarity to Parker's "Early Autumn" in that the detective sort of adopts a teenager who's aimlessly floating around, and yes, bits of the dialogue are identical to Spenser dialogue, but that's not really sufficient to take away from the enjoyment of this book.

Sunny isn't really a female Spenser. She's less comfortable dealing with the gangster connections than Spenser is. While she's a good shot, she doesn't seem to be a true physical match for the bad guys.

In this first outing, she's hired to find a missing 15 year old daughter, but on finding her also discovers that she'll be in considerable danger if she's returned to her family. The story goes on from there. We meet Tony Marcus who we know from Spenser books. And a flip remark is made at one point which indicates that Sunny knows of Spenser and his reputation.

Parker likes to throw in little teasers. When we realize that the girl and her mother will each likely be visiting psychologists, we can't help wondering if one of them won't end up with that lady counsellor we know so well. After all, this is set in Boston.

There's bound to be a bit of a tie-in with other Parker series and therefore, I recommend reading all Parker stories in sequence.

This is a great crime fiction yarn . . . it's got all of the intensity of thrillers like The Triumph & Glory and winning characters like you'd find in a John McDonald book . . . great plots twists . . . a unique approach with the gender thing . . . Family Honor was a change of pace from the usual genre titles we see
