Resolution by Robert B. Parker

3.0

On it's own I probably would have rated this higher. Coming off of Appaloosa, it gets 3.5. The story itself is interesting and engaging, but the reunion of Hitch and Cole took away from the finality of the first book. Obviously if this is going to be a series they have to be together again. I just think it happened too soon and for not a good enough reason. Appaloosa ends with Everett making a huge sacrifice so that Virgil can stay with Allie in the town of Appaloosa. Resolution had a "never mind that " feel to it and suddenly they were partners again. This story didn't need Virgil Cole. If he has to be in the book, it would have been better to have given him a seperate side story and then mabye end it with the two of them reuniting. So again, as a stand-a-lone this was a good book. However, I think it weakened the series a bit.
