Mortal Stakes by Robert B. Parker

4.0

I'm enjoying this series more as I read further and get to know Spenser better. The wisecracks are becoming more natural, and the character seems more likable; he shows himself to be a good, likable, mature guy who is not perfect, but realizes when he does something that is not 100% right. He might beat up or even kill a bad guy, but he doesn't feel good about it. He also believes in helping people, even if it means losing money. He's willing to quit a case and give up the money if he can't do what he believes is right.

This one should interest the baseball fans out there, although it will also interest those who couldn't care less about the sport. The story was good, the characters were interesting, and the ending was satisfying.
