Publisher Description
The indefatigable, poetry-dishing Spenser finds himself in the middle of yet another whopper of a case. A seemingly dim blonde with a supermodel-class body is accused of murdering her blue-blooded, Mayflower-descended banker of a husband. Her alibi: she was watching Survivor in another room. Mary Fiore, Spenser’s seductive lawyer friend, a former prosecutor, realizes that her client needs some help, and commissions Spenser to dig up the truth. This is easier said than done, but a few gunsels, thugs, and murders later, Spenser makes the connection between the dead banker and a real-estate scam gone sour. There’s a resolution to the case, but the fun is in seeing the green and sexual intrigue play out. “Boston’s favorite private eye slides into his 30th case as easily as a knife sinking into warm butter.”—Kirkus Reviews

"His books are so fast to read. He's a good PI, the old fashioned way with no computers. Plus, he's self deprecating which makes him fun to read, for me anyway. "

" I truly enjoyed this book. It was rich with characters--some I'll never forget. Every time I read one of Mr. Parker's books, I have a good time. Kudos. "

" Just fine... but I got about 2/3 into it and realized that I had already read it. That's a problem with any series, I suppose. Anyway, I finished it because these are so forgettable. I liked it pretty much. "

" I flew through this while I was working at the Library Booth at the Polk County Fair. It's forgettable but fun and I think it's a hoot that Susan's dog, first introduced some time in the 1970's, is only now getting old. The series is ultimately a little corny but still kinda fantastic. "
— Nate, 8/17/2009 -
" Not Parker's best work, and Susan is at an all-time annoying high. "

" very quick read. I read the book in less then four hours but I thought it was a good spenser novel. "
