D.B. McBrierty said I am enjoying this series. Great Read. "No bookmarking. Poor reading." according to Sami. I like Mr. Parker's writing.

I have now read the whole Sunny Randall collection, and have had my fill for now. Wish there were more!

It's a clever device, and Parker makes the most of it in this spare, smart, swiftly paced mystery, one of Parker's best in recent years. In Shrink Rap, Sunny's working as a bodyguard for a famous romance writer who's being stalked by her ex-husband, a psychiatrist engaged in extremely unprofessional conduct with his female patients. --Jane Adams.
