Hugger Mugger Book Review

Hugger Mugger (Spenser) by Robert Parker is the next book in the Spenser series.  This was sitting on my shelf because my mother handed it to me when she finished it.  I am really glad that I had the next book ready to go after finishing the last Spenser novel with the added benefit of not waiting at the library.  The great thing is that this is a paper back book too so I can read it at night without it being too heavy and carry it anywhere in my bag to be ready at a moments notice to read!!

This book is about a horse named Hugger Mugger.  Spenser is hired to find out who is killing other horses in the stable and make sure that nothing happens to Hugger Mugger.  The security people are not happy finding out that someone has been hired from outside the operation and Spenser works on trying to find out more information about the family and all those who could be involved.  When the father who hired Spenser was killed, Spenser is fired.  He goes home and works on other cases.  The wife of the man comes back to Boston to hire Spenser to prove her son should get some of the inheritance because he was a legal heir to the Clive family fortune. 

As always, there are many twists and turns in uncovering the truth.  The end was a little strange because it seemed like the book just ended where the other books have a resolution and they talk a little more about the ending but it was still a good book.  I love to read the Robert Parker series and this book was no exception.  The difference was this book was centered only on Spenser and not on the list of other characters that he usually deals with.  I hope that you read this book and other Robert Parker novels because they are great stories and have great characters.
