When Spenser and the ever-delightful Susan Silverman attend the local presentation of an esoteric play in the small coastal town of Port City, the last thing they expect to witness is a murder. But murder it is and to stretch the shock factor even further, the said murder happens on stage in front of a full house. Robert B Parker was always a cool hand at coming up with original plots and suspense-building events and this book is no exception. The local constabulary, for once, welcomes Spenser's unofficial assistance, as neither party has any idea who the killer is. Nor do they know why. A seemingly forgotten complaint of stalking of the local drama society's chief bureaucrat, which opened the tale, has seemingly fizzled down to a state of near irrelevance but with the world class writing skills of Mr Parker on show, the reader would be a fool to make that assumption.WALKING SHADOW is classic Spenser. Indeed, the tale reads like a world class thriller until it settles down and finds its groove as an example of the classic genre-defining murder mystery series created by Mr Parker back in the 1970's.The baddies start to appear as you approach the century page mark of the book and they really are outstanding and easy to dislike. Characterisation in the series is always a strong point, and 25 books in, if you aren't emotionally attached to the good guys by now, you never will be. Even reading of the innocent joy and happiness displayed by Pearl the Wonder Dog around Susan is enough to generate moisture around your eyes.Yet another highly entertaining and essential purchase from Robert B Parker.
