Product Description:
A hurricane hinders a kidnapping and Spenser goes on a search for the man responsible— the infamous Gray Man, who has both helped and hunted Spenser in the past.
Heidi Bradshaw is wealthy, beautiful, and well connected —and she needs Spenser’s help. In a most unlikely request, Heidi, a notorious gold digger recently separated from her latest husband, recruits the Boston P.I. to accompany her to her private island, Tashtego. The reason? To attend her daughter’s wedding as a sort of stand-in husband and protector. Spenser consents, but only after it is established that his beloved Susan Silverman will also be in attendance.
It should be a straightforward job for Spenser: show up for appearances, have some drinks, and spend some quality time with Susan. But when Spenser’s old nemesis Rugar—the Gray Man—arrives, Spenser realizes that something is amiss. A storm, a kidnapping, and murder tear apart what should be a joyous occasion, and Rugar is seemingly at the center of it all. The only thing is that the sloppy kidnapping is not Rugar’s style—as Spenser knows from past encounters. With six dead bodies and more questions than he can process, Spenser begins a search for answers—and the Gray Man.
With its razor-sharp dialogue, crisply etched characters, and high-wire narrative tension, Rough Weather once again proves that “Robert B. Parker is a force of nature” (The Boston Globe).

For many, fall is the season of falling leaves, shorter days and cooler nights. But for mystery fans, fall is the time of year for a new Spenser novel from the dean of American crime fiction, Robert B. Parker. ROUGH WEATHER is the 36th book featuring Spenser, the wise-cracking Boston detective whose first name we still have never discovered. Not that it matters at this point.
ROUGH WEATHER will not disappoint. The series is as fresh and pertinent now as it was when Parker published the ... Read More

This is exactly what you would expect from a Spenser novel; i.e.: witty dialogue, warmth and humor with Susan, warmth, humor and toughness with Hawk, Spenser beating up at least one muscle-bound tough, Hawk loyally at his side, moneyed people without scruples, Boston settings - which includes, of course, Spenser looking out his office window admiring female pedestrians below - and Pearl getting table scraps, long after Spenser has theorized with her only to not get a response from the dog. Don't forget ... Read More

At first there was denial, surely Parker could still write great Spenser novels. Then there was anger why wasn't Parker writing great Spenser novels? Now there is acceptence that Parker can't write great Spenser novels but he can write ones that pass the time.
This is a good book for that 3 hour flight you have to take or the three hours you wait at the airport to take the flight. Nothing new happens but Susan is a little less irritating than usual and some of the action is solid.

I associate all good things in life with Robert Parker's writing - root beer floats, fried chicken and mashed potatoes, down filled quilts, rainbows - nothing quite makes me as happy as seeing a new Parker book - especially the Spenser character.
This started out as the rest - women - sex, women - sex - the banter between Susan and Spenser was great - but it seemed like Parker was holding back on the reader.
What really aggravated the situation was when Hawk finally appeared in ... Read More
