This book helped me figure out why I read the Spenser series books. It isn't plots like this where our hero risks his life insulting a ring of cocaine distribtors and crooked cops. It isn't the interaction with colorful characters, clever deductions of motives, or his strength, toughness, or shooting skills.

What I enjoy is Spencer's glibness, sense of humor, literary knowledge and the repartee between him and his main squeeze, Susan, and his VBF, Hawk. They are at their best in this book. Always fresh and entertaining, often subtle and hysterical, and consistently able to liven up a plodding story line. Give it a read.
