Stardust

By: Robert B. Parker

Narrated by: Michael Prichard

When a Hollywood-based TV series schedules filming in Boston, Spenser smells trouble. When he signs up to protect the show's star, Jill Joyce, he knows it's on its way.

First, there's Jill herself. She's spoiled, arrogant, drugged out -- made worse by fear. Someone is out to get her -- does she imagine it, or is it real?

Spenser monitors her neurosis, but finds evidence of harassment. It escalates to murder. Now begins the dangerous part -- while the act may have ended, the murderer lingers on.

One of Robert B. Parker’s Best

I think this is my favorite Spenser book. All the elements of a great story are here. All of the familiar characters including my second favorite- Hawk. I love being surprised and really enjoy how masterfully Robert Parker weaves the tale all the way to the surprise ending. I’ve read several adaptations of the Spenser series from authors who have picked up and carried the banner after Mr. Parker’s untimely death, and although the attempts are welcome, we’ll never see his like again. And lastly, Michael Pritchard is hands down, the best reader and interpreter of the Spenser books.

Another wonderful Spenser book!

As usual great witty dialogue with terrific description! Interesting story and all the characters you love! Classic Robert B. Parker !

Stardust, another winner by Parker

I'm biased in favor of Parker's Spenser novels, I like all that I've listened to. There's always snappy dialogue and fast moving plot. This novel was great. I highly recommend it.

All Spenser's are worth listening too.

Would you listen to Stardust again? Why?

No. A pretty predictable plot

Would you recommend Stardust to your friends? Why or why not?

A Parker fan probably wants them all. There are others I would recommend before this one for a casual listener.

What about Michael Prichard’s performance did you like?

I like all the various Spenser narrators. Montegna is my favorite. Prichard is fine however.

Any additional comments?

I would put this one about in the middle of all the Spencer books as the plot isn't as good as many others.

Okay story, terrible reader

Okay story, terrible reader - monotone and fast, had to slow it down to get thru it.
