ReviewsPraise for Robert B. Parker's Wonderland "[Atkins] has captured the essence of Parker's storytelling--moral complexity, deft characterizations, spare, rhythmic dialogue--and reinvigorated it."-- The Arizona Republic "Atkins crafts the talk between the characters so well. He also tells the sory in tight, short chaptersthat keep the story moving--again, so Parker-like."-- Deseret News "Atkins has masterfully captured the essence of Parker's creation."-- Lansing State Journal "These books are real gems...the old Spenser magic is back."-- Aspen Daily News Praise for Ace Atkins and the Spenser Series "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. In addition to the signature dialogue, all the familiars are fully resurrected: Susan, the sexy shrink; Pearl, the wonder dog; Hawk, the wonder sidekick; good cop Quirk, and, of course, Spenser himself, that consummate knight errant for the twenty-first century."-- Kirkus Reviews "It's a feat when a writer creates characters who live and breathe on the page and make readers care and keep coming back for more. To manage that with someone else's characters, let alone with an icon like Spenser, is a minor miracle. Ace Atkins pulls it off."-- Chicago Sun-Times "Atkins does a wonderful job with the characters created by Parker."-- Booklist "Classic Spenser--the Spenser of wry wit, tasty food and drinks, hard workouts and lethal confrontations...Once again, Atkins has delivered a thriller that evokes the best of Parker's Spenser series, not least the punchy back-and-forth of the dialogue."--Associated Press "Atkins has done a splendid job of capturing the voice of the late Robert B. Parker."-- Publishers Weekly
