Synopsis

Robert B. Parker's beloved PI Sunny Randall returns on a case that blurs the line between friend and foe...and if Sunny can't tell the difference, the consequences may be deadly.

When Sunny's long-time gangster associate Tony Marcus comes to her for help, Sunny is surprised--after all, she double crossed him on a recent deal, and their relationship is on shakier ground than ever. But the way Tony figures it, Sunny owes him, and Sunny's willing to consider his case if it will clear the slate.

Tony's trusted girlfriend and business partner has vanished, appears to have left in a hurry, and he has no idea why. He just wants to talk to her, he says, but first he needs Sunny to track her down. While Sunny isn't willing to trust his good intentions, the missing woman intrigues her--against all odds, she's risen to a position of power in Tony's criminal enterprise. Sunny can't help but admire her, and if this woman's in a jam, Sunny would like to help.

But when a witness is murdered hours after speaking to Sunny, it's clear there's more at stake than just Tony's love life. Someone--maybe even Tony himself--doesn't want this woman on the loose...and will go to any lengths to make sure she stays silent.

Grudge match is book 8 in the Sunny Randall series. This was an arc review for me and I think I would’ve liked it a bit better if I had started with the first book of the series instead of in the middle. I feel like I’m missing some of the nuances by not having read the previous novels. The story ta......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on April 07, 2020

Of the Parker series featuring Spenser, Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall, the beautiful blonde private eye has for the most part ranked third in my preference order (not that she's very far behind, mind you). But if this book is any example, she just may have edged into second place (no one will ever k......more

Goodreads review by Scott on August 02, 2020

I have been reading Robert B. Parker’s “Spenser” mystery series since the 1980’s when my English professor introduced the first book in the series “The Godwulf Manuscript” to me and invited me to write a paper comparing and contrasting Spenser with some classic character that I can no longer remembe......more

Goodreads review by Stacy on May 22, 2020

Lupica carries the torch for deceased master of mystery Robert B. Parker. Like Ace Atkins (who inherited Parker's "Spenser" character), Lupica nicely assimilates Parker's staccato phrasing, crisp dialog and witty repertoire. The plot for "Grudge Match" involves a missing woman who is caught between......more

I'm really glad this series continues since I am a fan of Robert B. Parker. It's such fun to read about his three characters Spenser, Sunny Randall and Jesse Stone since their stories connects. For instance in this one Jesse appears a bit and Sunny visits with Spensers girlfriend and the bad guys is......more


Quotes

"The superb plotting is enhanced by Lupica’s well-written scenes set during Sunny’s therapy sessions with Spenser’s love, Susan Silverman, which deepen the reader’s understanding of Sunny.
