Too many unbelievable characters and situations. Spenser is a private eye with his own super hero team of operatives and even the police department work with him in order to take down the bad guys with no questions asked of Spenser's methods as the body count rises. Even Spenser's beautiful lover is included in the action as part of her job as a counselor. First off, too much Susan Silverman. Spencer and her mentioned her Harvard PHD so many times, it eventually became irritating. Actually the presence of Silverman in the plot sort of dragged the whole book down. The ending seemed more like it was time to end the book without really completing the plot. Most of what I have read by Robert Parker is the Jesse Stone series, but this fit a category for a challenge so thought I would try a Spencer book. The book had witty dialogue, a tough-as-nails protagonist, three quirky sidekicks (Hawk, Vinnie, Chollo), and a rather unpleasant character in Susan. It's a formula that obviously worked through many years and more than 50 books featuring these characters. Now and Then certainly holds its own among novels of the suspense genre. It was a well-paced, realistic detective thriller...but I still like Jesse Stone more. Reading Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels is like eating potato chips -- crunchy, salty, greasy, and utterly without nutrition, but who cares? There will be a case to solve -- sometimes even the case he was hired to solve, there will be sexy banter with Susan and macho banter with Hawk. There will be some meals described, and some fashion choices, and then to remind you that Spenser is a real he-man, despite the cooking and fashion commentary, somebody will get punched. Or shot. Or both. This time around, what starts out as a tail on a cheating wife turns into a double murder investigation after a bugged conversation reveals possible connections with domestic terrorism. Fun way to spend an afternoon, and it won't even spoil your dinner. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
