A review by cheriekg
Blue-Eyed Devil by Robert B. Parker
4.0
This is classic Parker: men living by clear, unwritten codes of violent nobility, straightforward confrontations, ambiguous female characters in the background, tight dialogue. Short, gripping, funny, and wonderful. As an aside, this is the first Parker audiobook I've tried and I fear it doesn't translate well. His choppy dialogue feels jarring read aloud.
[Edited 9/21/15 I later went back and read the book version to complete my read of Virgil Cole series. As I expected, the dialogue translates much better on the page. Virgil and Everett are among my favorite Parker creations. I'm not sure if I want to keep reading the series as written by others, however.]
