However I miss the expectation of a new novel and so I read Ace's take on him. I was not disappointed. He really seems to understand the characters, what they mean to each other, and us.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221632643003994804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-4488037173547653812011-06-01T03:12:13.491-07:002011-06-01T03:12:13.491-07:00Having read every Spenser novel - most in the spac...Having read every Spenser novel - most in the space of a single day each when I was catching up with them all - I was very sad to hear of Robert B. Parker's death. I am ambivalent to hear that a new author is carrying the brand onward, but willing to give the new book a read. If the laconic magic can be recaptured, it would be nice to see Spenser and Hawk continue on a while.HannibalCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970584876708307571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-83912099137371931152011-05-31T13:13:09.531-07:002011-05-31T13:13:09.531-07:00I either love this idea or I hate, but I'll be...I either love this idea or I hate, but I'll be damned if I know which.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-18353119281400489002011-05-31T08:12:05.018-07:002011-05-31T08:12:05.018-07:00I was very much against continuing the Spenser ser...I was very much against continuing the Spenser series after Parker died. This interview assures me that Atkins will write in the same style, but I'm still torn about it. I guess I'll just have to read Spenser #40 and find out. Meanwhile, I must read the last real Spenser.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.com
