Jill Joyce–the famous actress who makes any TV show a hit–thinks someone is threatening her. But she is so over the top no one is quite sure if they believe her.<\/p>\n

This is where Susan really starts to annoy me.<\/p>\n

I was watching Susan. Her normal lunch was something like a lettuce leaf, dressing on the side.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still however love the fun Spenser pokes at himself and the world in which he resides.<\/p>\n

He had on a white shirt and black jeans and black cowboy boots and a black leather shoulder holster containing a pearl-handled, chrome-plated .44 mag, excellent against low-flying aircraft.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jill Joyce is unpleasant and rude and thinks it’s ok to sexually harass men as a way to show her power over them. She’s also a drunk and you have to wonder how she’s managed to hold down a job.<\/p>\n

Although Susan is starting to be annoying in this book, I still enjoy Spenser and I love the random bit that randomly appear.<\/p>\n

\nIt was as if he were a shattered cup, badly mended, with the shards of himself barely clinging together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This isn’t a favorite, because Jill Joyce is hard to take, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.<\/p>\n
