Not my favorite Spenser book plot-wise but this is the book that introduces Susan Silverman to the mix. Their relationship is more important than the story, at least to me. There is a twist (a little one) to the ending.

The 2nd Spenser novel. These early Spenser's are fun because Robert Parker does a great job of describing the clothes and fashions of the early 70's ... what a walk down memory lane!!

I've always wondered how Spenser met Susan Silverman. It is told in this story which is typical irreverant Spenser. Very good story.

Typical Spenser book. Mostly interesting for the introduction of Susan Silverman to the series. No Hawk yet. Worth the read.

Homophobic novel, Spenser gets into unnecessary fisticuffs (of course, most of what Spenser does is unnecessary), presumably to prove to a 15 year old what a true man is like.
