DESCRIPTION:
Spencer Mystery by Robert Parker This mystery by the late Robert Parker was chosen as a book club selection by a member who has read many Parker mysteries. There was a chuckle off and on in the story which made the narrative interesting. I may read one more mystery by Robert Parker who is now dead; his novels are now being republished. The story's twists and turns kept you going but it wasn't the most exciting mystery I have read. You may learn more about theater groups, illegal Chinese smuggling and/or east coast towns whose economies have failed and been reborn in . Five Stars Kindle Customer Love his Spencer series books. Slowly working my way through them all.. Pat Getchell said Three Stars. To much time on description clothes---trips-- more than Spencer
In a shabby waterfront town, an actor is shot dead onstage. Granted, the script left much to be desired. But there's more behind the scenes than an overzealous critic--and Spenser and Hawk are combing Port City's underworld to find it
While he'd rather be at work renovating the old farmhouse that he and his lover, psychiatrist Susan, have bought in nearby Concord, Spenser agrees to find out who is following the Artistic Director of the Port City Theater Company, on whose board of directors Susan sits. The shooter gets away, leaving Spenser with murder to probe as well. After talking to one of the board members, Spenser is warned out of Port City by the woman's husband, an important member of a Boston tong. Although the detective lags in reaching a conclusion readers may have sussed out earlier, the expected pleasures of an adroit Spenser adventure are here in full supply. From Publishers Weekly
