I agree that Sonny Randall was the weakest of his series, but then even a weak Parker is superior to most of the offerings out there .

I didn't entirely feel that Silent Night captured the "real" Spenser, but will still continue to read the output from Ace Atkins, Michael Brandman et al to help the grieving process.
