Search - Small Vices (Spenser, Bk 24)

My absolute favorite of the Spenser series. Spenser gets shot. Hawk and Susan take him incognito for a long and arduous recovery before he is able to come back and track down the assassin. Don't bother watching the TV movie. Joe Montegna is no Spenser.

i liked it, he's done some better

For anyone familiar with the Spenser series, this is one of the best books in the collection. In it, Spenser and Hawk try to muddle around, ask questions, be annoying, and find the truth that will free a wrongly convicted young man. In the process, Susan announces that she wants to escalate their relationship with a baby. Spenser manages to get seriously wounded and both the case and the yearnings of Susan come to a dramatic comclusion. Witty conversation, snappy answers, and a view of a life we all wish we could live abound. This is the kind of book that is over too soon, and you will enjoy the ride.
