Paper Doll - Robert B Parker (CD)
Title: Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror Title: Paper Doll Author: Robert B Parker Genre: Mystery & Suspense Format: CD, 5 CDs, 6 Hours (Unabridged) Synopsis: Spenser tracks a mystery woman who refuses to rest in peace, in Robert B. Parker's most beguiling thriller yet. Sam Spade. Philip Marlowe. Lew Archer. Spenser. Like his legendary predecessors, the tough and classy Boston PI has become an American institution. With Paper Doll, Robert B. Parker takes Spenser down a sinister path, where every welcome masks a warning and identity is paper-thin. Hired by Loudon Tripp, an aggrieved Boston aristocrat who believes the brutal street slaying of his wife, Olivia, to be something other than random violence, Spenser immediately senses Tripp's picture-perfect version of his family's life is false. For starters, the victim's reputation is far too saintly, while her house is as lived-in as a stage set and her troubled children don't appear the product of a happy home. Spenser plunges into a world of grand illusion, peopled by cardboard cutouts, including: a distinguished public servant with plenty to hide; a wealthy executive whose checks bounce; a sleepy southern town seething with scandal; and the ambiguous Olivia herself. Consummately mysterious and smokily sensual, Paper Doll is Parker and Spenser at their compelling best. Review: Library Journal In this novel, Boston detective Spenser is investigating the inexplicable murder of a respected wife, mother, and educator. To solve the crime, Spenser takes a trip to South Carolina to look into the victim's past, only to find danger and yet another perplexing question, which, when answered, will break the case wide open. David Dukes's interpretation of Spenser emphasizes his laconic, uncooperative nature, yet Spenser's practical kindness to a bereaved cop and general fellow feeling for underdogs comes through. Dukes is less successful with attractive and intelligent Susan, the love of Spenser's life, whom he portrays with few nuances-a drawling pace and soft voice is about all the personality she gets. He provides creditable Southern accents to color the South Carolina portion of the book but is less successful with the upper-crust family of the dead Olivia: the husband's speech is characterized by a slow pretentiousness, the son's, by the thick consonants of a street thug.
