    Extractions: Average customer rating: based on 54 review(s) Amazon.com Product Review In this 30th entry in one of mystery fiction's longest-running and best-loved series, Spenserthe tough yet sensitive Boston private eye with no first nametakes on an unsolved murder nearly three decades old. The client, an actress, is a friend of Paul Giacomin, Spenser's surrogate son (who first appeared in 1981's Early Autumn ). Her mother was slain by leftist radicals at a bank holdup in 1974, and now she wants to know who fired the shot. As Spenser digs into the past, he soon learns that powerful people on both sides of the law want the case left alonebadly enough to kill. These death threats provide a fine excuse for Hawk, Spenser's extremely scary (yet sensitive) bad-guy pal, to tag along in nearly every scene as bodyguard. The interaction of the two friends is one of this series's familiar pleasures, as is the presence of Susan Silverman, Spenser's longtime love interest. Another pleasure is Parker's stripped-down prose, a marvel of craftsmanship as smooth as 18-year-old Scotch. (Plus we get the first meeting between Spenser and Jesse Stone, hero of another Parker series.) Alas, the whole enterprise feels a little tired. The plot never generates much sustained suspense, and the author's adoration for his central characters renders them at times almost cartoonesque. Still

    Extractions: David Westlake Newest published book is SHRINK WRAP. Recently named grandmaster for lifetime achievement by Mystery Writers of America, Robert B. Parker had already assumed the mantle of the dean of American crime fiction. His novels featuring the wise-cracking, street-smart Boston private-eye Spenser have earned him a devoted following and reams of critical acclaim, typified by R. W. B. Lewis's comment in The New York Times Book Review , "We are witnessing one of the great series in the history of the American detective story." His 26 Spenser novels have sold millions of copies. FAMILY HONOR, his latest novel, was expressly written for Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt who will play Sunny Randall, his first female protagonist, and also a Boston-based private-eye. Parker's other works include the classic POODLE SPRINGS, a novel completed from an unfinished manuscript begun by the late Raymond Chandler, and PERCHANCE TO DREAM, the sequel to Chandler's THE BIG SLEEP. Ironically, Parker wrote about Chandler in a chapter of his doctoral thesis about the evolution of the American Hero, beginning with the colonial period and ending with the twentieth century mystery writers. As fate would have it, Parker has become one of the best of them: "Robert B. Parker has taken his place beside Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Mac Donald," according to

71. Robert B. Parker Death In Paradise Reviewed By Terry D'Auray
    Death in Paradise. robert B. parker. GP Putnam s Sons. US Hardcover First. ISBN 0399-14779-9. Publication Date October, 2001. 294 Pages; $23.95.  
    http://trashotron.com/agony/reviews/2003/parker-death_in_paradise.htm
    
    Extractions: Agony Column Home Agony Column Review Archive REFERENCES COLUMNS Mystery Robert Parker is the acclaimed author of over 20 Spenser mysteries, and the one detective writer who has most successfully channeled the hardboiled writing of Raymond Chandler in the 40's to the hardboiled mystery novels of the 80s and 90s". 'Death in Paradise' is not a Spenser novel; it's a Jesse Stone novel, Parker's third. Jesse Stone is Spenser redeux and Parker re-energized, and that's just fine with me. Jesse Stone is the Chief of Police in Paradise, Mass, a small town outside Boston. He's also an alcoholic, fired from the LAPD's high-profile homicide division for drinking on the job. He's unhappily divorced from Jenn, the love of his life, but in unique Parker style, they're still dating. In 'Death in Paradise', Stone investigates the murder of a fifteen-year old "town pump" whose body is found floating on a nearby lake. He also takes on an abusive husband and his cowering wife, and the ruthless doings of a famous local author. Paradise may be a small town, but it's not dull. Parker mixes amusing small-town stories - a lost dalmation dubbed Deputy, a disorderly skunk - with big-time Boston hoodlums and child prostitution in his unique, fast-paced style. His plots are solid and contemporarily realistic, and they unfold with rapid pace and plausibility. His ancillary characters, while thin, are always realistically and sensitively drawn. But Parker excels, here and in the Spenser novels, with his dialogue, simply the best in detective fiction. Quick, witty, often glib, and always simply a joy to read, Parker's dialogue tells his stories, develops his characters, and wins the hearts of his readers. Not laugh out loud funny, Parker's dialogue takes the form of droll and witty repartee, often deadpan in its delivery, and always delightful in its impact. It would be unseemly to drool further.

    http://www.mysteryguide.com/bkParkerPlaymates.html
    
    Extractions: REVIEW Rating: 3 (Good) A better-than-average outing for Robert B. Parker, centered on an unusual type of crime. Spenser is hired by the president of an eastern university to investigate allegations that its very successful basketball team is engaged in point-shaving. Games are not being intentionally lost, but they are not being won as decisively as they could be, so that it is possible to consistently win by betting on the point spread. Spenser fairly quickly identifies the guilty player, who is being manipulated by mobsters. He then faces a quandary: how to get rid of the gangsters without exposing the kid and ruining his professional basketball career? His resolution of the problem is clever and satisfying. Parker is a matter of taste his mysteries are very direct, often funny, and many find the hard-boiled Spenser character appealing. Often he makes the simplicity of his books a virtue; and from the wide margins, large type, frequent chapter breaks, and reliance on dialogue, it is clear that Robert B. knows that he is paid by the book rather than by the word. On the downside, Parker makes sure that we know about Spenser's life in greater detail than some readers are interested in. Spenser's romance with Susan Silverman is less emphasized in this book than in some, but otherwise the mundaneness of some of the descriptions are really striking:

But when he shows up in town, he realizes that his new post is not the sinecure he imagined. The seemingly tranquil hamlet harbors a militia, a violent muscleman with mob connections, and a thriving trade in money laundering among other secrets. Reviewer: JP

    Extractions: No case is ever easy for Boston private detective Spenser. Wealthy socialite Marlene Rowley hires Spenser to find evidence that her husband Trent, the CEO of Kinergy (an energy trading business), is cheating on her. He tails Trent and quickly learns he is having an affair with Ellen Eisen and that another sleuth is following Ellen, whose husband Bernard also works at Kinergy. Spenser's case becomes ludicrous when he realizes that a third private detective is following Marlene. On only Spenser's second day of surveillance, Trent is murdered in his office during working hours and nobody saw a thing. Marlene wants Spenser to find out who made her a widow, which leads Spenser into a cesspool containing sexual predators, financial finagling and serial killers. It has been three decades since Robert B. Parker write the first Spenser novel and the series is as fresh, innovative and appealing today as it was then. The sublime but well written story line is fun to follow as private sleuthing seems like a lucrative business at least in the Boston area. Told in the first person from Spenser's point of view, BAD BUSINESS is a work of humorous prose and fantastic characterizations.
