Recenzje

Delicious fun Spenser is back in his element out-punching and out-quipping adversaries in Beantown. An entertaining supporting cast puts this one on the top shelf one of the author s wittier outings. Bottom line: A merry Widow. People

Prime Spenser an enjoyable ride. The Times Union (Albany, NY.)

 

Widow s Walk ranks among the best in the Spenser series just enough of the hard-boiled stuff, a touch of good-natured cynicism, some mature reflection on the nature of life and a well-knotted whodunit. It s a great way to spend the weekend For those who have yet to have the pleasure of our hero s company, it s a stellar introduction. Calgary Herald

 

It s the dialogue that marks Parker as the undisputed master of the hard-boiled universe. Ottawa Citizen

 

The writing is as clean as fresh ice, and from the opening sentence, it s clear that readers are in the hands of a vet who knows what he s doing. Publishers Weekly

 

ANY book by Robert B. Parker is a treat but there is something extra-special when he gives us a new detective story starring the inimitable Spenser. [Widow s Walk is] classic Parker, with that beautifully pared-down style that wastes no words but still conjures up richly detailed characters and a vibrant sense of place funny touching compassionate. Sunday Mercury
