On Easter gift for her

Recently I read a recent Spenser novel by Robert Parker, The Professional -- which was an ironic title because nobody in it fit the title, so far as I could see, including the author. Maybe the attorney who represented the group of wives being blackmailed by the same guy. I can see the influence of Spenser on James Patterson, though Patterson also goes back a long time. Both favor lots of short, choppy chapters with short, choppy dialog that is supposed to be highly meaningful and Socially Significant, and are full of lots of material about the detective's personal life. I will admit, in this instance, Spenser's monogamous relationship with his girlfriend is compared to the Gary Eisenhower and the women. Still, there's too much of him romancing her and their great sex and so on and on and on. If you're looking for an easter gift for her, don't get this book unless you think she'll like to read about tough guys who are also monogamous.
