Robert B. Parker's Someone to Watch Over Me by Ace Atkins

4.0

Dare I say that the late Robert B. Parker had become a tad predictable as he got older? His books got shorter necessitating print that nearly fit the Large Print category. Ace Atkins is a worthy successor and continues the tradition in accordance with the estate of the late writer. After all the characters were definitely Parker's and are still among the best around. Atkins has taken a fresh approach cautiously. It's obvious he pays attention to Boston and uses the news as his inspiration. In this book Spenser is drawn into a case involving missing girls who are lured into a life of high end prostitution by a hedge fund manager who uses his association with the rich and famous as leverage. So we have Jeffrey Epstein but with a twist. It's interesting and well done. I won't say much more than to say it was a terrific book with a lot of twists and turns and an unusual and unexpected ending. I liked it a lot.
