Family Honor

A Sunny Randall Novel

By: Robert B. Parker

Narrated by: Andrea Thompson

Sunny Randall is a Boston P.I. and former cop, a college graduate, an aspiring painter, a divorcée, and the owner of a miniature bull terrier named Rosie. Hired by a wealthy family to locate their teenage daughter, Sunny is tested by the parents' preconceived notion of what a detective should be. With the help of underworld contacts, she tracks down the runaway Millicent, who has turned to prostitution. Rescuing her from a vicious pimp, Sunny finds herself the unlikely custodian of a difficult teenager when the girl refuses to return to her family.

But Millicent's problems are rooted in much larger matters than running away, and Sunny, now playing the role of bodyguard, is caught in a shooting war with some very serious mobsters. She turns for help to her ex-husband, Richie, himself the son of a mob family, and to her dearest friend, Spike, a flamboyant and dangerous gay man. Heading this unlikely alliance, Sunny must solve at least one murder and resolve a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the top of state government.

Critic reviews

"A bravura performance, this novel launches what promises to be a series for the ages." (Publishers Weekly)

I. Enjoyed the reading of the book

The person reading this book has a beautiful voice and is very expressive the story was interesting but the way she read it was what really sold it for me I enjoyed this book I like some of Robert B Parker’s but this one I enjoyed more

If this book was a meal...

It would be a peanut butter sandwich.

Nothing wrong with a peanut butter sanwich, unless you were hoping for a steak.

The unfolding narrative.

Liz Chaney’s integrity, her sense of duty, and her devotion to The Constitution are so rare in politics today that I find myself wishing she were running for President. Her courage to stand for what she believes in gives me hope that the highest values present at the founding of our country still live in the hearts of people today. I’ve never been a Conservative but Liz Chaney is beginning to make me question why.

Good interesting read

Interesting cast of characters, good plot, good set up for future works in the series

Love the Narrators

I liked all except the chapter change voice. I will continue with this intriguing series!
