Book Review: "Broken Trust" by Mike Lupica


 Spenser investigates the past secrets of an elusive tech billionaire in this latest installment of Robert B. Parker’s beloved series, and the first written by celebrated writer Mike Lupica.


The beautiful wife of one of the world’s richest men comes to Spenser in the hope that he can find out what skeletons lurk in her husband’s closet. Though he is a generous philanthropist and loving family man, she is concerned—he recently has become secretive, bordering on paranoid, and she wants Spenser to find out why. As Spenser digs into the billionaire’s past, he realizes that the man may have done terrible things on his rise to the top—but he also may have had good reason to. What he discovers will cause him to question his own views on morality—and place him in grave danger. - from Netgalley.com

I received this eARC from NEtgalley.com and am providing an unbiased review.

This is the fiftieth book in Robert B. Parker's 'Spenser for Hire' series, and I have l very greatly enjoyed every book. Lupica's writing style is similar to Parker's, in not only how the character does his thing, but even the way chapters are done. I constantly think back to the '80's with Robert Urich playing the main character on the television show. I can't think of any greater words to say about this book other than I truly enjoyed reading another story from this series, and Lupica did a fine job.
