Pot Shot Book Review

Potshot (Spenser) by Robert B. Parker is the next book in the series.  I had a little break with a few books from Robyn Carr and now I am back to my Spenser series.  Putting a few different books stretches out how long I am with all of the characters :) Right??

In this book, Spenser is hired to go to the town of Potshot and find the person who killed Steve Buckman.  He goes in and talks to different people in the town and causes quiet a stir with the criminal element in an area called the Dell.  He is hired by a group of towns people to clean out the criminal element in the Dell.  He goes around the country to get all of his trusted friends to come and help him. 

It is a much more in depth than the normal novels with a strange plot twist of two jobs working at the same time.  The writing style and the character development is different in this book than others.  It is written in such a way that you can see it being a movie.  There are a lot of characters and a lot of action which is not usual of a Spenser novel because they are usually just a few characters with more conversations.  It was a nice change of pace and I really enjoyed reading it.  I hope that you check it out and all the other books in the Spenser series.

I really enjoy the Robert Parker books and this one was another interesting read.  I hope that I can get the next few from the library soon.  I better go on and reserve them soon since I am starting the next book in the series tonight!!  Of course, I still have a pile of books that I need to read first so I guess we will see what is going on with the rest of the pile of books :)  I hope that you check out this and all of the other Robert Parker books.
