This is the first book that I've read post Robert B Parker of the Spenser series written by Ace Atkins that melds Parker's characters with Atkins writing style to produce a worthwhile product. Most long-time readers of the Spenser series will still notice stylistic differences. The most common one is that the scene descriptions are more detailed and that some of the commonly used Parker tropes such as Spenser's home cooking. beer ordering, etc still seemed to be injected rather than a natural part of the narrative. At the same time the plotting is better than in most of the Parker books. The Kirkus review provides a summary of the action.
