I haven't been all that pleased with Flowers as a replacement, but I'll likely give it a bit more of a chance.
Parker's reparte in both the Spenser books and the Jesse Stone novels reminds me very much of the old TV show, "I Spy," between Robert Culp and Bill Cosby.

I didn't care much for Sunny Randall. But I do like Virgil Flowers' first few books very much. Just this last one didn't quite measure up. Good, but not great.
