Media Reviews
Praise for Rough Weather

Rough Weather is bliss. --The Spectator

Comically acerbic...the reader is treated to all the familiar pleasures...Spenser sitting in his office overlooking Berkeley Street in Boston; the knock on the door announcing a client; Spenser's rapier repartee with client and suspects; the return of his love, Susan, given a larger role here; the always amusing interplay with the mercurial Hawk, Spenser's muscle; and Parker's graceful descriptions of interiors, meals, and clothes. --Booklist

As usual, Parker's crisp, unadorned style is superb. Parker remains a major figure in American crime fiction. --Associated Press

Robert B. Parker at his very best with a great suspenseful mystery enhanced by the hero's even greater love for Susan...The storyline is fast-paced from the moment the Gray Man arrives in a shockingly fumbled caper, but it is the dry-witted Spenser who turns the tale into a thriller's thriller. --Midwest Book Review
