"Widow's Walk ranks among the best in the Spenser series--just enough of the hard-boiled stuff, a touch of good-natured cynicism, some mature reflection on the nature of life and a well-knotted whodunit. It's a great way to spend the weekend...For those who have yet to have the pleasure of our hero's company, it's a stellar introduction."--Calgary Herald
"It's the dialogue that marks Parker as the undisputed master of the hard-boiled universe."--Ottawa Citizen
"The writing is as clean as fresh ice, and from the opening sentence, it's clear that readers are in the hands of a vet who knows what he's doing."--Publishers Weekly
"ANY book by Robert B. Parker is a treat but there is something extra-special when he gives us a new detective story starring the inimitable Spenser. [Widow's Walk is] classic Parker, with that beautifully pared-down style that wastes no words but still conjures up richly detailed characters and a vibrant sense of place...funny...touching... compassionate." --Sunday Mercury
"Spencer is back, as quick with a quip and as free with his fists as ever...So enjoy."--The San Diego Union Tribune
"One of the great series in the history of the American detective story."--The New York Times
"A cat's cradle of conspiracies...fun to read as ever."--Los Angeles Times
