Book Reviews of the Now and Then (Spenser)
Customer Review: I am going to miss him greatly
Summary: 4 Stars
Often in life, I need something to take my mind off things or to put my mind into something that is comfortable. Robert Parker has been delivering to me that type of book for many years. Spenser and Gang are comfortable. While one might argue that the series has become too formulaic and too "the same old thing" (I have done that also), I know there are no more books coming off his pen, and this time, it was different.
I sat down with Now and Then, needing a book where I didn't have to think, or remember, but I could just relax and let it engage me. And it did. I want to thank Parker for providing that time and space for me to forget about everything and let Spenser, Hawk, Susan, Chollo, and Vinnie comfort me in laughter and their friendship.
Of course the plot is irrelevant in this book as it is in most of Spenser's books. Spenser gets a client that is more than it seems. He and Hawk team up and bring in Vinnie and Chollo - so you know it is not a routine small time crime. The writing was good, the humor always there and the camaraderie ever present. The plot was little involved, but not complex. The story was the characters as it is most of the time.
I was undecided between a 3 and 4 star rating, but with a lifetime of service and much enjoyment from Parker over the years, sentimental me is rounding up.
