Family Honor - Sunny Randall, Bk 1
Author: Robert B. Parker

The author of the bestselling Spenser novels introduces a heroine unlike any other-private eye Sunny Randall. She's street-smart, sexy, and suddenly thrown into a Boston mob war where high-stakes politics and low-down killers conspire to make Sunny's first case her last. — "Robert B. Parker has another winner...Sunny can hold her own with Spenser."-Boston Globe "Sharp and funny." -Washington Post

This is the first of Parker's Sunny Randall novels and the first that I have read. I thought it was very enjoyable - a fast-paced thriller very similar to the Spenser novels but with a female PI. The plot involved the disappearance of a 15-year old girl who turns to prostitution on the streets of Boston. Sunny finds her but there is more to her story than simply running away from her parents who have pretty much neglected her for all of her life. It turns out the mob is looking for her for witnessing a conspiracy involving a hit on someone involved with her mother. Anyway, in the end Sunny sorts this all out with the help of her ex-husband, Ritchie whose family is tied to the mob in Boston. Overall, I would recommend this one and will be reading more in the series.

January 26, 2017: Really enjoying this book so far. I like the main character and her sense of humor, and how quickly the story moves.

Jan 30, 2017: I was a little bit disappointed. I just wish Sunny hadn't had to depend so much on men to be able to sort all of this out. It just seems so silly to have this smart, talented, strong woman private detective who can't do anything without the MEN helping her every step of the way.
