Split Image by Robert B. Parker, reviewed by Kay: “ I can’t knock Parker as he is the master of his style. However, he has become too predictable. It is all about style, with no need for substance. I have read all his books and own many, including his a first edition of his first. He will be missed, but I feel he has said all he has to say – for some time. His early stuff was in my estimation his best.”
