I think the reasons I liked this book are the same reasons I like Spenser books in general. Spenser and Hawk are great characters. They are tough guys without being stupid; they are smart guys without being annoying. And their friendship comes through as real and believable. You can tell by the way they talk to each other that they have known each other for a long time. And the book is written with a lot of wit. So it’s fun to read. It deals with issues like prejudice and racism without reading like an after school special or a sermon and without belittling the problem. And since I tend to get annoyed when books preach at me, I appreciated that. The plot line about Nevins was more interesting to me than the other one but both were fine. But I was more interested in the people than in either of them. If you like detective/PI novels and haven’t read any Spenser, you should. If not this one than another. They are easy to get hooked on.
