Potshot Audiobook

" One more... Only a few left. Spenser as always.... "

" It was fun to have all of Spencer's sidekicks together for this story, but the ending was horrible. There was no feeling of justice when this was over. "

" This one is a lot of fun, as they all are. Spence has to unravel the mystery of what the heck is going on under the surface of the investigation. Of course, he pretty much always figures it out, solving the case. Spence's character along with his main squeeze, Susan, and his side kick, Hawk, are terrific characters. They have depth and seem so real. Parker's writing allows the reader to visualize Boston; and his dialogue is witty. I really love his writing! "

" More Spenser, and one can never get enough! "

" 3 of 10 stars for this rather trite, repetitive effort. "

" This was one of my favorites of the Spenser books. Parker brought back all of Spenser's past friendly thugs and it was great. I could read his books over and over. Reading about Spenser's relationship with different characters is humorous and often enlightening. Spenser is the best private detective there is to read about. "

" Not one of Parker's stronger efforts. Still, if you are a Magnificent Seven fan, you may like this. "

" I swore I wouldn't waste my time on another "Spencer" novel and I did, but so help me God never another. Repetitive, childish and downright stupid. The only way I can redeem myself is I didn't actually go out and buy the book!! "

" I love the dialogue in Parker's books! "

" Good for us mytery readers "

" Has all my criteria for a great story - I loved the whole "let's assemble the most kick-ass team!" plotline. Your mind jumps ahead to fill in the blank when Spencer mentions someone from L.A., or from Georgia. "

" This was a quick, fun read. The story is set in a small town in Arizona, where a private eye goes after the supposed bad guys only to find out nothing is what it appears to be. "

" Quick read. Ending was nothing like I expected. "

" I've read the majority of his books and always look forward to the next one. His stories are quick, easy reads full of wit and sarcasm...I can't help but laugh my way through them :) "

" In this installment, Spenser is inserted into a Western novel, and he brings a posse of hoodlums he's worked with before. There are gunfights and staredowns, and a small town rife with corruption. Enjoyable, and a bit different from Parker's norm. "

" I love the relationship between Spenser and Susan throughout the spenser series. Great insights about love and autonomy. I hesitate slightly to recommend the series to those in my church due to language and violence. But I love the series. "

" This was one of the first "Spenser" novels I read. Since then I have read many. I liked them all. "

" One of the newer Spenser novels, I think. Very quick to read, with loads of witty dialogue. The plot was interesting enough, with enough of a mystery, but it served more as background for the dialogue than as the main thing. Recommended, all the same! "

" Another romp with Spencer and Hawk as they rid a small Arizona town of the baddies. "

" This is my favorite Robert B. Parker book. I love the characters and the dialog. I've read this book 3 times and will probably read it again. "

" Ho Hum! However I have never been a Spenser fan. I have tried to read several, but never understood his huge popularity. I really enjoyed Parker's Western series however. I guess I keep reading the Spenser Novels in hopes of finding greatness. All the Parker fans can't be wrong, could they? "

" If this had had HALF the characters, I would have enjoyed it more. "

" This was great fun. I'd just read Thin Air by Mr. Parker, and this book referred to that story several times. I would have liked for Mary Lou to have gotten what was coming to her, but maybe (fingers crossed) that will happen in a later book. "

" Potshot (Spenser) by Robert B. Parker (2002) "

" One of my favorites. I like the whole series of Spenser. "

" Spenser at his finest, this is one of my favorites due to guest appearances of many old favorites. "

" Great fun read. Old Spencer at his best. It was great how he dug up some old characters from previous books. "

" Bittersweet reading another Spenser novel knowing that Robert B. Parker is gone. This story involved a stolen painting with lots of typical Spenser-Susan banter. "

" What can I say? This was published after Parker's death, and is vintage Spenser: an interesting crime, good looking women, devotion to his dog and his true love. I will miss having new installments in this saga. "

" Pretty good in the Spenser/Hawk/Silverman series. Repartee, some action, cooking, and local Boston color. "

" A fast read. Sharp dialogue and Spencer is his usual self. Only thing missing is his side kick, Hawk who is not in this story. "

" Love Spenser. Robert B Parker will be missed "

" Very enjoyable hard-boiled mystery w/ dead-pan humor. Good guy read. One minor quibble: too much "He said", "She said", rather than mixing in more descriptive verbs "

" Just finished Painted Ladies, the last book of the Spenser series, written last year just before the death of author Robert B. Parker. I'm going to miss Spenser... "

" Parker's writing about Spenser became mechanical in his last years, with lots of repetitious dialogue about how great he & Susan & their relationship are. A disappointment. "

" What am i going to do without my Spenser? "

" Robert B. Parker may not have been a "high end" writer, but his stylistic staccato dialogue and dry humour are always a readable combination.Plot doesn't matter so much as what Spenser does to preserve his own sense of honour and how he gets there. Good rainy day fast read. "
