A review by kim_hoag
Blue-Eyed Devil by Robert B. Parker
4.0
Parker's books on Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch are a great unguilty pleasure of mine. This is one of the better books, too. It has a more complicated plot than usual which added to both the length and my pleasure. Why do I like these books so? Certainly the plots are usually more on the simple side, and the characters, as well.
My enjoyment of the read centers on the friendship between the two main characters and their constant laconic and pithy discourse. In this 4th book their philosophical dialogue ranges between the ironic switch of good and bad roles, the feelings around killing, love, and much more. All presented in a sparse, sometimes humorous exchange between the two. I love these two! It may not be great literature, but it is among the most fun.
