Paper Doll
Robert B. Parker
Published 1993
A high society Boston woman is killed, a "perfect wife in a perfect family". Spenser gets on the case, with Farrel, a gay detective. Spenser finds that the wife was not exactly perfect, her background suspicious, and dead relatives are really quite alive and kicking. The end is full of twists and turns.
Lisa Says: Our first look at Farrel, an interesting gay police officer. An addition
I like quite a lot. Spenser's always multicultural and quite open - I like that about
him. Susan's not in this a lot ... calls and such. The characters Spenser runs into are
all very well done! He does miss with the high school year-figuring-out ... she'd have gone to college for 3 years with his math. He does the "If nominated, I will not run" quote of Lyndon B Johnson and the "the rest was silent" from Hamlet. How did *poof* Pearl become a Wonder Dog, though?
