I just finished reading Slow Burn, a Spenser mystery written by Ace Atkins, and really enjoyed it. When Robert Parker - the creator of the Spenser mystery series - passed away, his widow and her advisers choose Atkins to continue the series, and I personally feel he has done a great job. I can't tell the difference between the original series and the ones Atkins writes. The stories take place in Boston, and Spenser often gets help from his friend Hawk and a full-blooded Cree Indian named Sixkill. My only complaint is that I read them too quickly, and will have to wait another 6 months to a year for the next installment. Definitely pick a copy of Slow Burn at you local independent bookstore and read it!
