ReviewsPraise 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
