There's something about Spenser. I never tire of him, having read most of his adventures. I've gotten used to Joe Mantegna becoming his voice, though that's not the voice of Spenser I hear in my head. In this investigation, Spenser is hired to do some checking-up on spouses that may or may not be cheating. What he uncovers is a group of people that may or may not be ummmm...spouse swapping....or who knows what, because there are several couples of a high-profile business that are beginning to be murdered. Actually, they start dropping like flies. Who knows who's a good guy and who's a bad guy? Most of the characters that Parker's introduced are mentioned or appear, with lots of Susan Silverman and Hawk. Spenser's humor, his cooking, his philosophising, are all present as well. A good, quick read.
