Search - Rough Weather (Spenser, Bk 36)

Let me say that the series of Spencer, P.I. novels by Robert B. Parker are one of my favorite series of all time. They are funny and exciting. And you just can't help but love Spencer who is smart , witty and totally irreverant. They are great reads, mysteries with plenty of chuckles.
This is one of his best and I highly recommend it !

I could NOT listen to this CD. "she said," "He said" "THey said" "Jess said" "we said" the dialogue got on my last nerve.

If you have not read the exploits of Spenser start with the first in the series. Parker ties all these books together and even includes the Randall and Stone series as well. They take place in a largely real world world including true landmarks and established businesses mixed in with the fictional places needed by Parker to avoid legal entanglements.

I would love to see a star desire to make these books into movies (a la Selleck with the Jesse Stone series.) Spenser is a long in the tooth hard boiled detective who remains timeless. Not bad for a Korean war vet, Spenser still mixes it up thugs and wins.

Robert Parker's books are well worth reading if for no other reason than the zippy dialogue!! Not too much plot on this one, but fun!
