I so enjoy "SPENSER", that even in a less than exciting plot, I am still charmed by it all. The character is so fully written; I think I would recognize him on the street!

But given that Mary Smith is entitled to the best defense she can afford - and thanks to Nathan's millions, she can afford plenty - Spenser hires on to investigate Mary's bona fides.Mary's alibi is a bit on the flimsy side: she claims she was watching television in another room when the murder occurred.
