I have finished all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books by Robert Parker and a few other authors after he passed. Now, I am tackling Spenser, another private investigator like Sunny. The cool thing is, all three are in the same realm so there are returning characters from the Jesse and Sunny series. I was like, oh awesome, I know that person already. But, the Stone and Sunny books take place afterwards as they are much newer.
This is the first book and it’s from 1973, and there are 50 more, plus television adaptations! I am not planning on reviewing every single book in the series.
For this one, Spenser is hired by a university to locate a missing manuscript. A lot of things happen during the course, even murders!
Spenser is a very good private investigator, he likes to cook, he takes care of himself, he dresses sharp, and he likes to drink. He is kind of a smart-ass with words. And, he likes the ladies.
Parker’s descriptions of food, places, and people, are very detailed and I can easily picture it in my mind.
