I don't think so

Melancholy Baby
A Sunny Randall Novel
by Robert B Parker

If I had years of my life and hours of dead time needing to be filled, i could read another of these.  Several more. It read quickly--under two hours--and didn't get boring. The author, a man, did a decent job at exposing his girlish side and inventing a conflicted female with both guts and common sense. She has no illusions about her relative fighting ability, a 125 pound woman against a 185 pound man, and is perfectly okay with pulling in a big guy for backup.

So, technically, it was fine. But while I liked her a lot, I just didn't love her. Certainly not enough to spend any more hours of my few remaining reading hours with.
