Well I went back to read this one (skipping it as I read through the entire Spenser series since I had read it fairly recently) because of how prominent a role Susan plays in the series.  I couldn't recall their meeting. 

It's interesting in this first meeting Spenser describes Susan as "not beautiful" (while still enamored with her) when for the rest of the series she's described as a knockout no man can resist. 

Oh well, that's officially it for the Parker Spenser novels.

Bit of a crossover novel as it also features Jesse Stone.  I've read a few of those and you can tell Parker was enjoying writing them more than these Spenser novels at that time.  This one wasn't great.
