Book Reviews of Hundred-Dollar Baby (Spenser)
Book Review: Back to basics with very good results
Summary: 4 Stars
Parker has had my attention for many books, but lately they were getting wackier and less interesting. But in Hundred Dollar Baby, he has gone back into the past and plucked out a character that we all have read about two other times - April Kyle. This time she has more going on and the storyline is very intriguing. The plot is a little more complex and that makes this more like the older style books.
Spenser is hired to help April again, but finds himself at the end of many lies by just about all of the characters in question. Hawk is back in the supporting role and Susan is just there, but not at the center of attention.
April is attempting to start up a chain of very high end prostitution houses in larger cities across the U.S. She is in bed (not literally) with Patricia Utley and several not so trustworthy individuals.
The dialogue is crisp and the writing very concise. This is Parker at his best.
