You're so right. I too look forward to my annual visits with
Spenser.
(Although, he has published 3 books in the past 10 months!) I
enjoy kicking back and hearing about what's been happening
with him, and that includes hearing about Susan and Pearl.
He's an old friend and I do want to stay in touch.
Now, Parker's new character, an alcoholic police chief or
whatever, just holds no interest for me, although I read the
two books about him ... just to be polite I suppose. I only
found out yesterday that Parker has written a new book with a
female PI. I can't wait to read it. I'll bet that Parker can
write from a female perspective very convincingly.
Cheers,

Usually the earlier Spenser novels are the best: specifically
everything before Catskill Eagle IMHO. His latest in hardback
(the title escapes me Hush Money I think) features a little
more into Hawk's background.
I really like Spenser, although everything after Catskill
Eagle and before Walking Shadow is far from hard boiled, too
much Susan and Pearl the Wonder Dog for me, still I do like
the relationship between Hawk and Spenser and I am interested
in visiting Spenser once a year, more for the character than
for the mystery.
