Praise for Walking Shadow
Will captivate both longtime and soon-to-be devoted Spenser lovers. Kirkus Reviews
The opening premise is particularly delicious. . . neat jolts of action, crisp, witty dialogue, the signature understated, deadpan zingers that Spenser and Hawk toss off so effortlessly and a lean, mean narrative that rockets the book along. If you're already a Spenser fan, you'll like this one. If you've never read Robert B. Parker, welcome aboard. After Walking Shadow, you'll have a lot of books to catch up on. The New York Times
Brisk. . . the expected pleasures of an adroit Spenser adventure are here in full supply. Publishers Weekly
Entertaining, as always. Boston Globe
A really good story. Chicago Tribune
A deft storyteller, a master of pace, with a plot that pulls us along like taillights vanishing down a dark highway. . . The wisecracking, deadpan dialogue is as snappy as ever. . . sheer escapist entertainment. Philadelphia Inquirer
