Synopsis

Spenser investigates a case that hits dangerously close to home in this latest installment of Robert B. Parker’s beloved series.

Spenser is waiting out the latest Boston snowstorm when he gets word that Rita Fiore has been shot. Rita’s always been a tricky one: flirting with Spenser for years, she’s an ever-present figure that transcends friendship in Spenser’s circle. But at the end of the day, Rita is family. And family will always be protected.

Both a pit bull in the courtroom and provocateur outside it, Rita is no stranger to controversy. But as one of the city’s toughest lawyers, Spenser knows that there’s no short list of suspects who might want to enact revenge. With Rita’s life hanging in the balance, it’s up to him to get to the bottom of things, even if it means unearthing some unsavory secrets that might just lead him into an age-old game of lies and deceit.

Goodreads review by Scott on December 12, 2024

The Who’s classic rock song declares the line “Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss.” That feels pretty apropos in relation to the handoff of the “Spenser” legacy from Ace Atkins to Mike Lupica last year. This was more than the passing of a proverbial torch. The legacy of Spenser is the gold stand......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on November 12, 2024

Ah, Spenser. The Boston private eye has held the No. 2 spot on my Top 10 list of book heroes since, well, forever. And after original author Robert B. Parker's death in 2010 at the age of 77, my favorite takeover author - by a country mile - is the author of this guy (Mike Lupica). Why? Well, I've b......more

Not a terrible book. Lupica does a passable job with Spenser, not quite as good as Ace Atkins' previous attempts but a readable story from the Spenser universe.

Quotes

"Author Mike Lupica keeps alive Spenser For Hire with the latest caper for the investigator first created by Robert B. Parker. Face it, if a character is memorable enough (Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Spenser), someone is going to keep the stories coming. Just be glad Lupica is the one in charge here." —Parade

"[W]hen Mike Lupica took over Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series, it was a seamless transition. It’s as if he channels Parker from beyond the grave: setting, prose, dialogue—the works . . . Hot Property is a must for longtime Spenser fans and a terrific entry point for newcomers as well." —BookPage

"Spenser’s back with a vengeance in Robert B. Parker’s Hot Property, a thrilling story filled with suspense, violence, corruption and witty one-liners. Mike Lupica delivers a new Spenser tale with a classic feel containing heart, virtue and an abundance of Hawk. Everything a long-time fan of this series could ever want." —Best Thriller Books
