This is a good mystery, and the copy I received was new. It arrived in a timely manner. Sunny Randall is an outstanding character.
A serial killer June 20, 2008

PI Sunny Randall's father has been called back as a consultant to the Boston police department. A cold case that wss never solved has now become a hot case when a serial killer reappears after a 20 year absence. He brings Sunny into the case as an assistant.
This is an interesting, fairly quick read that will hold your attention. It has some side issues about relationships and about Sunny's family. It brings up an issue that has been discussed on an Internet Forum about the ability (or inability) to share your space with someone as Sunny deals with issues in her personal life.
It is not so much a mystery as the guilty party in the serial killing case is identified early. It is more a procedural issue about dealing with the situation.
Another Satisfying Read from Robert Parker June 6, 2008

Spare Change by Robert Parker teams up Sunny Randall and her father in a case involving a serial killer who drops coins next to the bodies of his victims. Although Parker's dialogue is always razor sharp and his characters well delineated, there's a certain perfunctory quality about the plot that perhaps comes from writing too many crime dramas over the years. You won't be disappointed by this book, but you won't necessarily remember it as one of Parker's best, either. A good airport read. You'll enjoy yourself between the soft drinks and the on board movie.

The plot was extremely linear. There was only one suspect and he was discovered early on. The final reveal of motives was like a 5 minute voice over. Mr Parker came recommended but I guess he's just old and tired now.

He used to be able to write - good plots, tight dialog, believable characterizations, good reads. In this and others of his recent books - inane dialog, stupid plots, cardboard cutout characters, really boring, predictable reads. Lucky thing I borrowed this - if I had paid for it I'd really have been annoyed. It's a waste of time.
