Robert B. Parker's Lullaby

By Ace Atkins

Book Overview

"Handpicked by the Parker estate to be the keeper of the flame for the Spenser franchise, award-winning author Ace Atkins...rises flawlessly to the occasion."-- Kirkus Reviews When fourteen-year-old Mattie Sullivan asks Spenser to look into her mother's murder, he's not convinced by her claim that the wrong man was convicted. Mattie is street-smart, wise beyond her years, and now left to care for her younger siblings and an alcoholic grandmother in a dilapidated apartment in South Boston. But her need for closure and her determination to make things right hits Spenser where he lives. As Spenser becomes more involved, he thinks that Mattie may be onto something after all. And he's going to need the help of his friend Hawk to find peace for Mattie--a job that's more dangerous than he ever thought.

Easy read

I like the short chapters. Makes it easy to stop and start with a new chapter. It’s a easy read maybe two easy. The characters especially Mattie could have been developed more. I think the author tried to hard to be funny and that tended to get in the way of the story. With that said it is still a good story.
