A review by michaelbtice
God Save the Child by Robert B. Parker
4.0
Since I'm all caught up on Reacher books, and every time I read a Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt novel it absolutely turns my stomach, I've been looking for something to occupy my quick read trash novel desires.
I think the Spenser books just might fit the bill.
The first wasn't too bad. Standard fare of giant jumps to logical conclusions in detective stories, but Spenser is a fun character, and I find the overall 1970sness of it to be an absolute hoot.
Spenser's sophomore outing was definitely better than the first, although while I do miss the devil worshipping sex cult, at lest now we have a bunch of sex crazed Boston suburbanites!
Some weird 70s thoughts about homosexuality, but at least Parker didn't treat it as a giant joke like Cussler's Iceberg when Pitt spent the entire novel being the worst possible caricature of a gay man.
Worth the read, since it was quick, and definitely want to continue this journey with the next book.
