This was fun; a few surprises that fans of the Spenser-verse will enjoy. The plot was a bit unfocused, several elements that didn't have a payoff and confused things. Maybe these were meant as red-herrings, but if so they weren't well executed. Lupica has a good feel for Parker's characters and can emulate the witty repartee, but Parker's plot were tighter and more focused. Still I enjoyed it.
Two quibbles: I am not sure how this plays if reading it, but listening to it there were too many "he said"s and "I said"s in the dialogue. It was distracting in the audio. Overall, I like the narrator, though there was some uptalk that could be distracting.
