Blue-Eyed Devil

... because Parker died before he could do another one. This is the fourth in the series about lawmen/gunslingers Cole & Hitch, and, like the others, is great fun. Laconic, a bit ignorant (Cole), but trying to do the right thing: Spenser in the WIld West. I love these books and have read them several times (they don't take long).

As another chapter in the lives of Virgil & Everett this is an efficient and enjoyable read. There is nothing really fresh or new, but is that what you want or need from a 21st-century Western? Probably not and I would have read about their further adventures if there were to be any.

Just when Parker's two Western heroes were reaching the peak of their maturity, the author sadly passed away. As the book cover aptly suggests, Cole and Hitch will now fade into the sunset forever. This is their last ride together and an excellent book. They will be greatly missed and so will Robert B. Parker.

Last in the series, totally brilliant

Average !

Enjoyed the book. Always enjoy this pair.....even though it is really Spenser and Hawk 150 years ago.

A change from the usual but I did enjoy this one.Every Robert.B.Parker boleok is a great joy,a book you are unable to put down unable to put down.So sad there will be no more.

very happy item

If you are a fan of the Marshal Virgil Cole and Deputy Marshal Everett Hitch series you will enjoy reading this 276 page hardcover book (Blue-Eyed Devil a Cole and Hitch western novel by Robert B. Parker). In this tale, Cole and Hitch are no longer law officers for Appaloosa and the town is run by a corrupt and ambitious police chief named Amos Callico.There is plenty of action in this western novel with lots of gun play involving Cole and Everett. An attack on the growing town of Appaloosa by renegade Indians comes close to burning down the entire town, but Cole and Hitch along with help from another gun man save the town.There are a lot of twists and turns and there is a shootout at the end that makes everything work out in the end. I never give away too much when reviewing a novel because it spoils it for anyone who is considering reading the book. If you like action westerns you may want to check out this book, which you can get on Amazon for a bargain price.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated Use of the Martial Art Ring (wood and metal) for seniors and the physically challenged: A Quick Course Guide).

きれいな状態で、間違いかと思うほど安く、また読み始めですが面白く、最高です。

They`re back in Appaloosa, Cole, Hitch and Allie, along with characters from previous books, Cato and Rose from "Resolution", Pony and Laurel from "Brimstone". This time they`re up against the police chief and his gang of deputies; a former Confederate general and rancher who, along with a hired gunslinger has a score to settle with Virgil, and a bunch of murderous Indians. Not a spoiler to figure out who wins.I was sorry to see this series end, just as I hated to see the last of Jesse Stone and Spencer. Beware of additional books in these series, the title of which begins ,"Robert B Parker`s ..." They`re by authors cashing in on Parker`s reputation. They may be good, I don`t know, I haven`t read them, but it`s safe to say they`re no Parker. Nobody is.

sehr attraktive Beschreibung der Tätigkeiten eines SIcherheitsdienstes der in privaten Auftrag agiert zusammen mit seinem Assistenten. Wir erleben hier wunderbare Szene, die im Detail herrlich ausgemalt sind. Der Colt sitzt locker. Kunden eines Bordells können sich nicht benehmen. Aber Schutzdienst Cole kommt zur Hilfe. Oft gibt es etwas zu lachen weil die Szenen so herrlich beschrieben sind. Der Gegenpart, der Sheriff der Stadt ist korrupt und überhaupt nicht begeistert davon, dass ihm der private SIcherheitsdienst Cole ihm ins Gehege kommt und für Gerechtigkeit kämpft. Beim Hörbuch ist der Sprecher exzellent und passt seine Stimme den diversen Situationen gefühlvoll und gekonnt an. Das pure Vergnügen zu hören und zu lesen.

Blue-Eyed Devil ist ein brauchbarer Westernroman. Die Handlung ähnelt sich in allen Büchern der Serie. Virgil Cole und Everett Hitch bekommen es mit bösen Buben zu tun. Wie es ausgeht, kann man sich denken. Dennoch sind die Bücher der Reihe handwerklich gut umgesetzt und gut zu lesen. Robert Parker versteht seinen Job, das ist bekannt. Seine Figuren sind durchdacht aufgebaut und durchlaufen auch eine Art von Entwicklungsprozess. Insgesamt auf jeden Fall lesenswert.
