Synopsis

Robert B. Parker's iconic and irresistible PI Sunny Randall is back, and the stakes are higher than ever as she races to protect her ex-husband--and his Mafia family--from the vengeful plan of a mysterious rival.

Sunny Randall is "on" again with Richie, the ex-husband she never stopped loving and never seemed to be able to let go, despite her discomfort with his Mafia connections. When Richie is shot and nearly killed, Sunny is dragged into the thick of his family's business as she searches for answers and tries to stave off a mob war. But as the bullets start flying in Boston's mean streets, Sunny finds herself targeted by the deranged mastermind of the plot against the Burke family, whose motive may be far more personal than she could have anticipated...

Goodreads review by Monnie on January 25, 2019

Of all the main characters in the late Robert B. Parker's books - among them Spenser, Jesse Stone and Susan Silverman - I'd have to say Sunny Randall has been my least favorite (although I suspect that's mostly because I wasn't happy back when she had a fling with Jesse). After reading this one, tho......more

Goodreads review by Chris on January 27, 2019

I am always surprised when a new author takes on one of Robert Parker’s characters and retains the flavor and strength that Parker gave them. Sonny Randall felt like an old friend. Thanks......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on January 21, 2019

An enjoyable return for Sunny as she investigates as to who has put out a hit on her former father-in-law. The only drawbacks: Spike is not believable, and her "on again, off again" romance with her former husband and current boyfriend. The action is good, the dialogue is taut and she has a new Rosi......more

Goodreads review by Ed on December 17, 2018

#7 in the Sunny Randall series (#1 by author Mike Lupica after 6 by series originator Robert B. Parker). This debut entry by author Lupica is a curiosity, he has Parker's snappy dialogue and Boston environment down. Series fans will be pleased to see familiar characters, but here Lupica verges close......more

Goodreads review by Gerri on March 06, 2019

Almost a 3 but not quite. Based on previous Parker books this is a difficult book for me to rate or review. Didn’t dislike it but sure was not overly impressed with the writing. Although the story was extremely predictable I somewhat enjoyed the book. Was disappointed in the lack of growth in some o......more

Quotes

Praise for Robert B. Parker’s Blood Feud

“Lupica, an award-winning sports columnist, author of 40 books, and longtime friend of the late Parker, nails the Sunny Randall character and the Boston criminal milieu that Parker created. The patter is snappy. The criminal honor codes are only understood by the criminals but are dismissed anyway when they interfere with personal enrichment. Even family loyalties come and go. Great stuff, Parker fans. Sunny’s back!”—Booklist (starred review)

“Lupica does justice to the work of MWA Grand Master Robert B. Parker in this splendid continuation of the late author’s Sunny Randall series. . . . Lupica hits the sweet spot by balancing Sunny’s professional hypercompetence with first-person narration that exposes her fears and self-doubts. Parker fans will look forward to seeing what Lupica does with Sunny in her next outing.”—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
