I just finished Lullaby and loved it for the most part. Spenser and Hawk, however, do not ring true. Spenser would never have allowed anyone to get his gun and Hawk would not have been taken down by an ambush. They also would have anticipated that Flynn would go after Mattie and would have had Vinnie or someone else protecting her. Other than these few things, the book was a good first stab at Parker's Spenser.
