A stopped reading new ones a few years ago, when I had the feeling he was mailing them in. I stayed longer with him than I would have with another writer for the reasons you mentioned: I loved those characters.<br /><br />I've heard several places that the last couple of books were written more like the early ones.

Robert B...Thanks for posting this here, too, Dave.<br /><br />Robert B. Parker was one of those people who make something very difficult look really easy - like another guy who always makes me think of Boston - Bobby Orr. <br /><br />I first discovered Spenser in the early 80's and when he and Hawk came to Montreal in <i>The Judas Goat</i> it was a big deal for me. <br /><br />Susan, like all women worth spending time with, drove me crazy sometimes, but hey, if Spenser wanted to spend so much time with her, that was good enough for me.John McFetridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442198820998606682noreply@blogger.com
