"Plenty of entertainment...The two-fisted P.I. is in good form and his creator in fine fettle here."--Los Angeles Times

"Spenser fans...will be thrilled to have their wise-cracking Boston private eye back again...navigating the perilous shoals of suburban discontent and ripped-from-the-headlines horror stories--with only his fanciful German pointer, Pearl, to keep him company."--New York Post

"Spenser returns! He fights, he flirts, he cooks, he wisecracks, he quotes poetry. This thirty-third outing for the Boston private eye is one of the most psychologically astute and well-choreographed entries in the entire series. This is a high point in one of the genre's classic series."--Booklist

"A pleasure...another solid installment in this fine, enduring series."--Publishers Weekly
