Shirley J. Adult Fiction A 14 year old girl hires Spenser to find her mother's killer
Excellent story. I am now such a fan of the Spenser character. I had heard of the character before but this is my first story with him as lead investigator. When 14 year old Mattie Sullivan sees two men take her mother forcibly into a vehicle after which her mother is never seen again, she wants to find her mother's abductors/killers. She takes a bus to Spenser's office to hire him to find them. Spenser is taken with her tough exterior, her language that would make a sailor blush and her determination to find who really did kill her mother. It was 4 years since her abduction. The cops didn't do much searching, her mother's friend (with benefits) gets blamed for her murder, but, Mattie is sure he is innocent. For the price of a dozen doughnuts (6 cinnamon and 6 chocolate glazed) and a large cup of coffee, Spenser enlists the help of his friend Hawk to help find out what happened. Things turn out way more involved than Spenser had imagined but he is ready for anything and puts a hilarious spin on every conversation he has with everyone he meets. So funny and such a good murder mystery. I recommend this one to teenagers on up for the language content. Lots of cussing here, but, funny.
