"Excellent; Continuing character: Spenser; man has money troubles and wife is caught up with terrorist feminists; Spenser devises a plan to get them both out together; Hawk appears as a "nice" bad guy."
"The fourth book in Spenser is initially hired to find a runaway wife. He finds the woman who has become involved with a group of reactionaries and has no idea how to untangle herself. As Spenser is trying to come up with a way out for her, he ends up involved in bailing her husband out of a messy situation of his own. The main plot turns out to be a calculated maneuvering to allow the "killing two birds with one stone" principle to work. Aside from the case, we begin to see Spenser's relationship with Susan Silverman evolve from the beginning stage. Although not as a friend, this book is also serves as the introduction of Hawk to the series. All of the elements Spenser fans have come to expect are there; Spenser's musings, witty remarks, and ethical action. The plot is fast moving and entertaining."
"Robert Parker is one of my favorite authors. In this novel Spenser is initially hired to find a runaway wife. She finally had enough of her hussband's excessive adoration. He finds the woman who has become involved with a group of reactionaries and has no idea how to untangle herself. As Spenser is trying to come up with a way out for her, he ends up involved in bailing her husband out of a messy situation of his own. The main plot turns out to be a calculated maneuvering to allow the dominoe principle to work. I really liked Spenser's musings, witty remarks, and ethical action. iit was interesting to see the relationship with Susan develop. The plot is fast moving and entertaining. I recommend this book."
