4.0 out of 5 stars Sequel to "Early Autumn", 30 Jan 2003
By Neal C. Reynolds (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
You will find this Spenser novel more entertaining if you read "Early Autumn" first since two of the characters are introduced in the earlier book.

Parent-son relationships are an important theme here. Paul's mother has come up missing and the youth contacts Spenser who in many ways has acted like a father to Paul in earlier books. In following her trail, Spenser again faces mobster Joe Broz and his son, Jerry. You get to know and understand the gangster a bit better here. That father-son relationship is also well explored.

Parker uses another element to add suspense. Susan has ended up with ex-husband's dog Pearl who accompanies Spenser and Paul. Well, we all know how high the animal mortality rate is in crime and suspense fiction, so dog lovers will be holding their breath everytime the dog goes out with Spenser.

All in all, a good and satisfying read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A desert dry humour detective story, 12 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Pastime (Paperback)
I listened to this book on tape read by David Dukes. It had the best ingredients, a hard nosed detective with a psycho analyst girlfriend and a pointer gun dog, named Pearl, who was terrified of guns. the pace was slow to rapid. I had the tapes lined up on the passenger seat for a quick swop worried the journey would end before the story.
