Quotes

“It's a doozy…Michael Brandman shows that the standard that Parker set is still there…it all moves at a very fast pace.”--Lincoln Journal Star“The mysteries are solved in Jesse's inimitable style, and he even has a little time for a new romantic interest…I love it! Killing the Blues will join the other favorites on my Robert B. Parker bookcase.”--Bookreporter.com“[An] impressive continuation of [Parker’s] series…easy, banter-filled writing, balanced with the lead's apparently limitless compassion, informed by bitter experience.”--Publishers Weekly
