Robert B. Parker’s Bad Influence, written Alison Gaylin’ does not get a good recommendation from me. I found this one on Libby, the library app that I have connected to four Southern California library systems. I wanted an audiobook for my dog walks and this one was available. I thought the protagonist, Sunny Randall, a female detective, former cop, former lover of Jesse Stone, was poorly portrayed. I did not like the cast of characters and did not find the plot believable. I would not even put this one in the category of “airplane books.” On the other hand, if you are entertained by B- detective stories, then have a go at this one.
