A review by michaelbtice
Looking for Rachel Wallace by Robert B. Parker
4.0
For its time, I think this was probably a very progressive book. Looked at through a modern lens, some of the stereotyping of lesbians and Spenser's overt machismo and the way Wallace reacted at the end don't hold up.
I felt the end was kind of rushed, too. Like, we have all this build up, and Parker's typewriter was running out of ribbon, so he wrapped everything up nice and tidy with a little bow in 10,000 words.
Still enjoyed it, but I would rate at 3.5 not 4, as it was only slightly above average.
