4.0 out of 5 stars
Not very realistic, but very enjoyable!, 4 Dec 2003
By James N Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spare Parts (Paperback)
This is not the most realistic novel you will ever read but you will thoroughly enjoy it. Artist Adam McCleet has a sister from hell. One day she rings him and demands he goes to Seattle because her husband Phil was supposed to ring her two hours ago and did not. It soon becomes apparent that there is reason for concern and Phil did not disappear of his own free will. Fellow dentists have no idea where he is but are equally determined for Adam to find him. Meanwhile Homicide Detective Forest is not happy Phil is around and interfering in his Yuppie Ripper serial killer case. Characters are extremely gullible in this novel such as the hotel security guard who immediately believes Adam is a secret agent but if you can overlook this sort of stuff you'll enjoy a pretty interesting novel.

Better than Hiaasen, 22 Mar 2002
By Daniel McGuire - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spare Parts (Paperback)
This is the first of five mysteries staring Portland, OR resident Adam McCleet, sculptor and ex-cop. They have widely varying plots, but many recurring characters. The books have a very friendly feel and a good dose of humor.Spare Parts is the grittiest of the bunch. McCleet gets involved when his dentist brother-in-law goes missing at a convention and later turns up without one of his kidneys.
I recommend starting with this one to be introduced to the characters in the right order and to follow their plot lines.
For some reason, Hanson is compared to Hiaasen on every jacket. In my opinion, Hanson is the better of the two. His stuff is funnier and more inventive.
