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

3.0

It’s always risky to jump into a long-running series for the first time. But with a little checking on the characters’ backstories, I was able to enjoy Someone to Watch Over Me by Ace Atkins, the legacy author for Robert B. Parker and his Spenser series. I don't have the issue of comparing the "new" author from the series creator.

Most people checking into this book know the characters far better than I do so I’ll simply say I found Spenser, Hawk, Susan and the others enjoyable characters. Lots of humor mixed in with some serious matters. This installment centers around a Jeffrey Epstein-like character. Peter Steiner and Poppy, the woman who assists him, are thoroughly despicable people. Spenser’s pursuit of the young girls being abused take him from Boston to South Florida to an island in the Bahamas. Lots of good action in this fast-paced book. Will look out for the next one in the series.

Rated 3.5 stars.
