The Last Dance
Fat Ollie gets it done.
A Right To Die
A period piece that didn’t hold my interest.
Pastime
“Spenser, rite of passage.”
The Killing Moon
Well written and a good read.
Crimson Joy
A rose is a rose by any other name.
Too Many Clients
Not bad in the classic style.
Small Vices
Even a pro can hit a duck hook every once in a while. Parker takes a provisional.
Madman on a Drum
Keeps a decent pace and doesn’t lose focus.
Madman on a Drum: A McKenzie Novel (Twin Cities P.I. Mac McKenzie Novels)
Tin City
Not bad. Dawdles in places but keeps a good clip overall.
The Evil That Men Do
Started out with some promise, but author quickly got flummoxed. Don’t waste your time.
The Financier
It wasn’t interesting, but it wasn’t dull. Didn’t really care much about any of the characters, but still finished the book.
Gas City
Too many characters, half of which are dull and pointless. Easy to skim.
Poodle Springs
Parker finished what Chandler started. Shoo-fly to the max.
Black Sand
Overly complicated, but the story moves along.
Blood Stone
Second in the Lomax series. Not bad.
Death on the Rocks
Not bad for a first effort.
The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition
The first third of this collection was enjoyable, but it gradually bogged down and I had to give up. Like most short story collections, the one’s you wish were longer are too short and the one’s you wish were shorter are too long.

Dark Harbor
Lawyer as sleuth can get a bit tedious, but this one is ok.
