First time I read this author, Robert B. Parker, won't be the last. Very intriguing writing style. Simple, short, easy, not too much in the way of flowery description, and yet enough to set the scene and get the picture. The book, another murder who done it, but again, the writing style hooked me.

If you're a Robert B. Parker (Spencer) fan, what can you say? He always delivers, tight plot, great dialogue and, of course, all the characters we've come to know. Paul C.

When fifty-one-year-old Nathan Smith, a once-confirmed bachelor, is found in his bed with a hole in his head made by a .38-caliber slug, it's hard not to imagine Nathan's young bride as the one with her finger on the trigger. Even her lawyer thinks she's guilty. But given that Mary Smith is entitled to the best defense she can afford-and thanks to Nathan's millions, she can afford plenty-Spenser hires on to investigate Mary's bona fides. Mary's alibi is a bit on the flimsy side: She claims she was watching television in the other room when the murder occurred. But the couple was seen fighting at a high-profile cocktail party earlier that evening, and the prosecution has a witness who says Mary once tried to hire him to kill Nathan. What's more, she's too pretty, too made-up, too blonde, and sleeps around-just the kind of person a jury loves to hate.
