A review by michaelbtice
Promised Land by Robert B. Parker
3.0
It was ok. I think my main issues are really just because it was written in the 70s, and there's some stuff that just wouldn't fly these days. Being the first time Hak shows up, though? Loved that. When I first started reading the Spenser books, I also started watching the Spenser For Hire TV series, and did not even realize that this was the basis for the mini series that started the show until the gun sale was going to happen and then I thought, "Wait, I've seen that in an episode."
This is the only comparison I have to make between the tv show and the books, and that's that Avery Brooks completely captures the spirit of Hawk in every way possible.
Worth a read, just for the inclusion of Hawk and how it advances Spenser and Susan's relationship, but beyond that it was just an ok book overall.
