Robert B. Parker's The Hangman's Sonnet by Reed Farrel ColemanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I like Coleman's interpretation of the Stone series, and I enjoyed this novel. However, something felt a bit off for me. Maybe it was how heavy Stone's drinking became; Parker always made it a point that Stone's drinking was there, an issue, but never went too far. Maybe that wasn't realistic, and Coleman's extension makes sense. And it makes sense within the context of the plot too. Nevertheless...
There is a small cameo from the Parker-verse that I felt was a bit forced and not necessary. I like the idea, but it needs to fit better.
