Parker and Spenser go over old ground, but it's still a lot of fun
Published in 2007.
Spenser is on the case again in Now and Then. This time, a simple "check and see if my wife is cheating on me" case becomes a double murder and takes Spenser back onto a college campus investigating yet another campus radical.
It is not terribly surprising that Parker is going over old ground - this is his 35th Spenser book. Hawk and others are brought in to help, as happens in most all of the newer Spenser books. However, the interplay between Spenser and the others is one of the best features of a Spenser book so that is not disappointing. All in all, this is one of the better Spenser offerings in years.
I enjoyed this book and was well on the way to giving it a 5 star rating until I got to the end. It was just too pat.
Still, it's a solid addition to the series and a must-read for fans.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars and it can be found on Amazon.com here: Now and Then by Robert B. Parker.
