Hush Money / Robert B. Parker / 326 pages / Deceased Author Challenge

This audio was narrated by Burt Reynolds.  He did a fantastic job on the various voices and inflections, but at time mumbles made the dialogue difficult to understand.  In this Spenser mystery, Hawk asks Spenser to investigate a tenure ruling at university for one of his friends.  Denial of tenure was granted Robin Nevins when his name was linked to the supposed suicide of a young gay activist.  In addition to this pro bono gig, Spenser's main squeeze, Susan, asks him to investigate the alleged stalking of her college roommate.  Stalkee becomes stalker and Susan comes to the rescue.  The in-depth character development and interaction  make the Spenser series an engaging voyage into the world of private detectives.  This particular installment delves into the intricate workings of college politics.
