" Very quick read with a story that keeps moving. " A good story in the continuing saga of Spencer and Hawk " - Marylu, The story line and the dry humor are what makes his writing so good. " His early writing of the Spencer character is so good, even without Hawk. This book not only entertains, it will make you think. Parker through Spenser tackles a lot of tough societal issues, all the while solving a mystery. Always count on Parker for snappy dialogue. His dialogue is on a level without equal. " Pure Spenserian genius, Parker is as near perfect as a writer can get. Rachel Wallace is a lesbian feminist who doesn't want a big strong PI protecting her, but needs him anyway. Don't like the profanity, violence, or sexism inherent here. It was written more than 20 years ago, but his take on gender, and identity politics, and the affection shared between PI Spencer and lesbian activist Rachel Wallace is real, and powerful, and inspiring. " As always Parker is first rate in this the sixth installment in the spenser series. Particularly evocative for its blizzard setting " - doug, The interplay of the radical feminist and the macho is wonderfully handled. Not the tightest plot, and dated material but still an enjoyable read. Parker continues imbuing his wise-cracking private investigator with more than enough savvy to back up his macho spiels. " I enjoy Spenser's irony and sarcasm and his blatant disregard for the way others perceive him. " Very Good Continuing character: Spenser he signs up to serve as a bodyguard for a gay author when she's kidnapped, he'll stop at nothing to find her. A detective novel with real ideas and lots of fun, and good food! " - Mary, " A fun ride, a little dated, but who cares with the wonderful, testosterone-laden Spenser coming to the rescue of a lesbian feminist who doesn't want to be rescued but needs him anyway. Sure it's an old tattered copy, but the words inside are the same, and I can hardly wait! " - Bob, Next up: The Godwulf Manuscript, which cost me $1.25. " I read it in three days, went out immediately, and grabbed four more from the local book trader. It was what I expect an older mystery/ private eye book should be.
No Hawk here either and just enough of Susan, this was done well before Parker started churning out potboilers. " this is one of the best in the series, lots of action and Spenser's wit is sharp as a tack.
Hence the 'Looking For.', so I'm not spoiling anything. Spenser acts as bodyguard for a feminist lesbian, who is subsequently kidnapped. Parker took on social issues earlier than most in his writing. The story lagged the slightest bit in the middle but, all in all, a solid story and a good read (pardon the pun). " One of them intense Spenser shows how enlightened he is kind of books.
