 Review | Hush Money
At one time, Parker was regularly discussed in the same hushed, reverential tones usually reserved for the masters of detective fiction.
Hush Money, the 26th installment in the Spenser series, is (surprise, surprise) a pleasure to read, another enjoyable romp, as Parker delivers the goods in the manner in which his fans have become accustomed.
For a Spenser book, Hush Money is relatively subdued, less violent and strained than some of Parker's other recent efforts.

"Hush Money" provides his best encounters which such intellectual denizens.
Hush Money sees the return of Spenser and Hawk to the mean streets of Boston, but in this novel, something seems to be lacking.

 Church in England Pays Hush Money to Sex Abuse Victims
THE Roman Catholic Church has secretly paid thousands of pounds in “hush money” to dozens of Britons who were sexually abused by priests.
The disclosure will come as a further embarrassment to the Catholic Church in England and Wales and to its spiritual leader, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster, who has been accused of turning a blind eye to paedophile priests when he was Bishop of Arundel and Brighton.
The payments are a fraction of what victims can expect in America, where the Boston Archdiocese is to pay $10 million to 86 victims of one defrocked priest.

It is a pleasure to watch Parker weave the disparate strands of hidden motives and intentional misdirection into a cohesive, believable, quirky, and satisfying conclusion.
Hush Money also gives Spenser's long-time love interest, Susan, an opportunity to show her mettle when her relationship with Spenser is threatened by a woman she thought was a friend.
Hush Money is so appealing because Parker has created characters who are likeable and human, yet are able to say the right thing, do the right thing, and throw the right punch every time.

A few of the early chapters took off slowly, mesmerizing-ly, with Spenser's sensual briefs of weather reports giving lazy home-runs to the sleepy emergence of spring, as money was extorted subtly in underplots.
For a time in my reading of HUSH MONEY I admit to having wondered if a seemingly nice, quiet lady in the gay (was he?) professor's case may have actually been the stalker in the "rescue me" conniving female case.
With two cases to juggle in HUSH MONEY the plots became so convoluted I wasn't sure how/if they interconnected, except to make the point that race, color, creed, and sexual persuasions had nothing to do with a person being a pig, or human with integrity (I don't mean to denigrate the cleaner species).

 Prober: Dems Paid Con 'Hush Money'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Ansara's telemarketing firm, The Share Group, got $154,000 from the Gore campaign, more than $512,000 from the Democratic National Committee and about $425,000 from two other Democratic committees in this election cycle, federal election records show.
Ansara pleaded guilty in 1997 to conspiracy to embezzle union funds and promised to cooperate in a federal investigation into former Teamsters president Ron Carey's elaborate scheme to funnel union funds through independent groups and into his campaign for re-election.
Prosecutors contended that one scheme involved the DNC, that there was a plan for the Teamsters to give money to the DNC and, in exchange, the Democrats would find a donor to give money to Carey.

Spenser is 'the very model of a modern major shamus,'" proclaimed The Boston Globe in a review of Robert B. Parker's most recent New York Times bestseller, Sudden Mischief.
Though not to me. I wondered why they were so reluctant to speak to me. Academics, being academics, attached great importance to abstraction, and there may have been reasons that had to do with listening long to the music of the spheres, reasons a mind as pedestrian as mine would not be able to understand."
