Almost great

Up to the usual Parker standards, if you, like I, enjoy his excellent writing. Only hitch is the reader, who is mediocre by my reckoning, though his adolescent-sounding voice is almost acceptable for most of the story. given that this is a telling by a young version of Spenser.

Boring.

Written with way too many "he said" "she said" and so so slow. I just wanted to fast forward through the immature dialogue.
