Kundenrezensionen
Boy, was I wrong.
In this book, Spenser and friends are up against the Red Rose killer. The bad guy is quite obviously a psychological case, so Spenser's psychologist girlfriend gets to be a partner in crime as well as in bed, with delightful humor and good will. They're both such really great people, it's fun to be around them.
Spenser is in great physical shape; he's brave and witty; he's a gourmet cook. He's never ruffled. Faced with a slime talk show host or a five-thug citizen pressure group, his wit, strength, and courage save the day.
Okay, it might all be too good to be true, but this is a story. It's comfortable, funny, fast-paced, breezy and uncomplicated. The plot is clever enough to interest, even if the outcome is surly a foregone conclusion.
In Spenser's words, "To be who I was and do what I did had to assume I'd win." That's how I felt from the start and I was glad he was who he was and did what he did and I loved every minute of it.
The case in the story, a serail killer who leaves a red rose at the scene of the crime, is a heart wrenching one. As the case developes the novel gets more intense and more belivable.
Then when the reader thinks the case is resolved Parker throws one last heart wrenching detail at his readers. This is parker at the top of his craft. A must read for any Spenser fan.
When the killer turns his attentions to Susan, the love of Spenser's life, the case becomes dramatically personal for Spenser and for Hawk, too, who, in his quiet, intense way is as devoted to Susan as to Spenser.
The narrative is fast-paced and the dialog tight and compelling. But don't think that the author lacks a romantic soul - for every so often comes a descriptive line of real poetry, as in"...the slim gold of nature's first green beginning to edge out on some of the shrubs."
Likewise, Spenser himself is no one-dimensional problem-solving tough guy. He is an intelligent, cultured man with a strong sense of morality. He knows he is in fact his brother's keeper. (And his woman's protector.) He demonstrates genuine human sensitivity - "The thing about monsters is, you want to kill them until you meet them, and when you meet them they don't seem monstrous, and killing them begins to seem unkind."
The end of the story provides an interesting twist which leaves the reader knowing more about the killer and his motivations than the characters in the book every learn.
Each one of the Spenser stories adds to the accumulated lore about Spenser, Susan and Hawk. You won't want to miss this one.
