Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Spenser is Fading Away
Let me first say that I have read all the Spenser novels and the associated books. I have a solid grounding in "Spenser Lore". You really need to have that background to be able to understand and enjoy this book. If you tried to pick this up as your first entry into the Spenser world, you would probably be very confused, since so much of it relies on back story.
Way back in the dawn of time, Susan ran off on Spenser. After great trials and tribulations they got back together again, but ... Read More
Rating:  - Didn't I read this four years ago?
I've read every Spenser novel, beginning when I was in high school in the '80s. I've reread a number of them.
In the past decade, I've grown very bored of Spenser's new novels. I wonder if Dr. Parker isn't growing bored, as well.
I rarely read the dialogue between Spenser and Susan. They love each other. They are hot for each other. They have complex emotions. They bore me.
Spenser's supporting cast reads like a joint United Nations/Politically Correct Univ. ... Read More
Rating:  - Now, Then - Never!
This is the first Parker book I have read and it will be the last. The author thinks he is witty - think again, arrogant maybe but not clever. The character development is weak and the plot even thinner. A total waste of time and money.
Rating: - Great for travel; so so for the series
Robert B. Parker's Spenser and Hawk and the streets of Boston have been wonderful companions on long airplane flights over the years. Recently I spent 20 hours traveling and read a biography of Cleopatra, a history of Google, and a fable about an Alchemist. Each took a bit of concentrated reading, but the short punchy sections in Now and Then were perfect for those short waits while boarding, taking off and landing.
Spenser still has good punches -- albeit most of them in this novel on the ... Read More
Rating:  - SPENSER AND HAWK AND VINNIE AND CHOLO
The four musketeers ride again! Yes, I got carried away, but this foursome is fearsome and Vinnie, a hired gun, will shoot anything that moves if he doesn't understand it. Cholo, another hired gun, is a bit slower to 'ace' people, but not by much. As Hawk says to Spenser at one point, "That's all we need", meaning just himself and Spenser, but as this case turns out all four guns come in very handy.
After 50 some books from Mr. Parker one would think he might run out of new ... Read More
