I guess we will just have to check out the rest of this series to find out who takes her place as bully and or victim. But when one bully leaves the playground another appears. I have to admit I am a little bummed Fannie fell victim to her wicked ways, she will be missed. There was mention of a couple others that leave us wondering where they are or what happen to them. I do wish we could have had a bit more information about the characters it would have been nice to know more about them. There are two more stories so far in this series, A Caffeinated Crunch and A Frothy Fiasco. I think this story sets up the series fairly well.
They don’t get around on bikes but golf carts that give a bit of their character away. Speaking of character you will love how they have decorated their transportation. Sweet Home is their playground and with any playground you have the usual characters.
The main characters of this series are the retired sixty somethings and they are nowhere near ready to hang it up. I enjoyed the setting of this story not just the Coffee Cabana but the small town and the people in it. This is also one of the things that make Creamed at the Coffee Cabana by Constance Barker a fun read. Welcome to Sweet Home Florida it is somewhat like the Cheers Bar (an 80’s TV show) everyone knows your name and your business. These four principals are admirably done the slut's transgression is not treated in the routine manner that might have been expected and the final, violent settlement of accounts by Spenser is first-rate.We all dream about retiring in Florida when we finally get to say good bye to the dreaded nine to five life, find some sunny small town to call home. finds two couples - a blackmailer and his parasite and a man and wife (the ballplayer ménage) with whom he becomes friendly. "Despite appearances at the beginning, this tense and well-plotted story is not about baseball. Spenser explains that he can talk to Susan about hard problems in a way that he can't with Brenda.
This book explains why Susan Silverman became his primary love interest instead of Brenda Loring. Spenser must deal with the shylock, Frank Doerr, and his huge bodyguard before he can deal with the actual blackmailer (which turns out to be the Red Sox broadcaster, Bucky Maynard). Marty Rabb's wife, Linda Rabb, lived a secret life as a prostitute and made a pornographic film that is the backbone of the blackmail issue. The investigation quickly takes him into a deeper, and more dangerous, blackmail plot involving pimps, a high class madam, and a vicious shylock. The story centers on the Boston private eye being hired by the Red Sox to find out if their lead pitcher, Marty Rabb, is on the take. Mortal Stakes is the third Spenser novel by Robert B.
