Cold Service Left Me Cold It feels like Robert Parker phoned this one in. The dialogue is tired, the characters, although familiar and much loved, have become cliched. Susan is just annoying now. Even Pearl has lost her spark. I hope that this is the last of the Spenser mysteries. It doesn't have the energy or humor of previous books. My advice - don't bother buying it. If you really have to read it because you've read all the others, borrow it from someone. It's not worth the money.
