Unabridged Audiobook
I have enjoyed the Robert Parker books. This was the first audiobook I have heard from this author and his habit of "he said" or "she said" became a bit annoying. It was not so noticeable when reading the book but listening to it is different. Another reviewer stated they did not like the cartoonish "step fetch" accent of the black character Hawk. This dialog banter has carried through most of the books it appears to be a joke between the two long time friends. They can just as suddenly switch to a very sophisticated educated banter as well. It is one of the things that keep you on your toes while reading Parker books. I enjoy Pearl, the dog she adds a human touch to the characters. You will not go wrong in choosing this book to read. It is fast moving and has a twisting plot, with tongue in cheek humor.
