Publisher Description

Brad Sterling - former Harvard football player, ne er-do-well, and Susan Silverman's long out-of touch ex-husband, is by all appearances a successful businessman. But when, in the course of running a vast fundraiser called Galapalooza, he is charged with sexual harassment, he turns to Susan for help. Though Brad denies the charge, he's desperate, behind in alimony and child support payments to other exes, and on the verge of insolvency. When Spenser, Susan's current love interest, reluctantly agrees to take the case, however, Brad claims everything is fine - he's free of debt and free of problems. While the harassment charge begins to look more and more suspicious, Spenser senses there is something wrong with Galapalooza as leads to charities turn into dead ends. Susan, meanwhile, becomes steadily more agitated as she wrestles former demons reincarnated by her ex-husband's reappearance. As the questions mount, Brad disappears, a body is found, and clues to a shadowy mob connection begin to surface. Spenser finds himself fighting a two-front war against some very bad men, on the one hand, and against an increasingly unpredictable Susan, on the other.

"Another enjoyable Spenser This time with the ex of Susan... the flake: Brad Sterling, ne Baruch Silverman. Oy , what we do for assimilation. I do like the broosers showing up and getting whoooped. And Hawk, do need a Hawk fix periodically. A wonderful antidote to reality. "

    " Loved it! I enjoy the Spenser character and his relationship with Susan. I always picture Robert Urich as Spense as I am reading. This one involved Susan's ex, but Spenser handled it very well. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Typical Spenser fare from 1998. Entertaining as always which is why Parker sells so many books. Won't tax your brain. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A 98 Spenser novel. Easy read. Forgot how much a Spenser novel requires Spenser eat and drink. In earlier ones, he would cook..now he and Susan or he and Hawk go out to dinner. "

    — Janet, 12/19/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " A good Spenser novel, this one delves deeper into Susan's psyche and her problems with her past. Moves quickly although it doesn't have quite as much action as other entries. "

    — Stephen, 11/30/2013
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Delicate. Balanced. Lyrical. A person might not use these words to describe many detective novels, but Spenser is a compelling exception. In this installment, Spenser's relationship with Susan becomes more complicated when Susan's ex needs help. This is another delightful read. "

    — Steve, 11/11/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Not his best effort. The dialog between Spencer & Hawk is still terrific. There is more of Susan in this one than in any other I've read, and she and Spenser talk a lot about her psyche. Seems a little thin to me. Susan is my least favorite character and this book didn't improve her in my eyes. "

    — Blaire, 11/2/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I sure enjoy the repartee between Spenser and Hawk. As always, there are some great lines, references to literature and some laugh-out-loud moments. This one got serious with Susan having some emotional problems. "

    " Good; Continuing character: Spenser; Susan's ex-husband has money troubles and a harassment lawsuit, so she asks Spenser to help him out; soon bodies start to stack up. Not as good as most in the series. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is good, but not nearly as focused as the last one. The main story is kind of "all over the place" and didn't make as much sense to me as some. This is worth it, though, in the relationships between Spenser and his network of friends and other acquaintances. Fun, but not perfect. "
