0As a literal lifelong fan of Parker, I’ve always wanted to re-read the entire Spenser series (at least those written by Bob himself) in order. HERE WE GO. I’ll list the reading order below for anyone who may need it.
Even this early, the reader is treated to the typical smart-alec Spenser personality and honestly, the bulk of this is timeless. Impressive. This book is nearly five decades old now and still plausible, etc. Obviously means of investigating have evolved but … it works.
Regulars introduced in this one:
Martin Quirk
Frank Belson
Spenser’s mad cooking skills
Joe Broz
*Spenser’s age? He states that he’s 37.
This book is nearly 50 years old—for the most part it doesn’t feel like it at all … though when Spenser only needs $5 to cover cab fare, that’ll be an exception, and some of the college kids’ dialogue, is another big one.
