It was easy reading and the quips made the story more interesting. ( ) Don't expect much description or expansive narrative on the Boston setting, but witty banter predominates in this 2002 Spenser entry. The older half of a May-December marriage is murdered and his young, blond, beautiful, dumb wife is accused. Spenser is hired to prove she didn't so it and he puzzles his way through a number of corpses before solving this one. OK story. Narrated by Joe Mantegna who adds his own flavor to the Spenser character. Nicely done. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mystery.
HTML:Four Cassettes, 6 hrs. unabridged Read by Boston's premier P.I investigates the murder of a prominent local banker, with family ties to the Mayflower - and perhaps the mob. When fifty-one year old Nathan Smith, a confirmed bachelor, is found dead in his bed with a hole in his head made by a .38 caliber slug, it's hard not to imagine Nathan's young bride as the one with her finger on the trigger. Even her lawyer thinks she's guilty. But given that Mary Smith is entitled to the best defense she can afford - and thanks to Nathan's millions, she can afford plenty - Spenser hires on to investigate Mary's bona fides. Mary's alibi is a bit on the flimsy side: she claims she was watching television in another room when the murder occurred. But the couple was seen fighting at a high-profile cocktail party earlier that evening and the prosecution has a witness who says Mary once tried to hire him to kill Nathan. What's more, she's too pretty, too made-up, too blonde, and sleeps around - just the kind of person a jury loves to hate. Spenser's up against the wall; leads go nowhere, no one knows a thing. Then a young woman, recently fired from her position at Smith's bank, turns up dead. Mary's vacant past suddenly starts looking meaner and darker - and Spenser's suddenly got to watch his back. With lean, crackling dialogue, crisp action and razor-sharp characters, WIDOW'S WALK is another triumph. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
