Susan Silverman is back in Spenser's life with minimal mention of what she put him through in the last few books. Happy together, they find little time to do any real cooking. The problem is an old one: April Kyle, the teenage prostitute Spenser saved in "Ceremony" has left Patricia Utley's call girl service to turn tricks for Robert Rambeaux, her current lover. Spenser does some investigating but before he gets too far April disappears, Rambeaux is beaten up by someone and one of the hookers he intereviewed is murdered. Yes, there is much more to the case than meets the eye. This is Spenser novel picks up after "Ceremony" when Spencer and Susan were planning to take April to meet Mrs. Utley. Now Spenser has has another chance to help April. While "Taming a Sea-Horse" might seem to cover some ground Parker has covered before, there is some sort of twist. It's good to catch up with Spenser and his detective adventures again.
