Robert Parker's Spenser Series

A few decades ago, I read every book written by Robert Parker in his Spenser series.  He wrote 39 of them before he died in 2010.  (Some of you may recall we had two cats named Spenser and Hawk, after the primary characters in this series). Inspired by the chapter in Why We Read by Shannon Read (see my blog post on this intriguing book), I decided to reread some or all of them. These mysteries are still fun, easy, page turners all, though more violent than my current taste.  I read seven of them in four days, and yes, still did some hiking and eating!

• The Godwolf Manuscript, 1973 (#1)
• God Save the Child, 1974 (#2)
• Mortal Stakes, 1975 (#3)
• Promised Land, 1976 (#4)
• Judas Goat, 1978 (#5)
• Pastime, 1991 (#18)
• Double Deuce, 1992 (#19)

You might enjoy rereading all or part of a series you enjoyed years ago!  If you choose to, please post what you are rereading.
