Spenser: Gumshoe & Motor mouth
Robert B. Parker's character, Private Detective Spenser, is a favorite
of mine. I have a number of the Book on Tape recordings and I used to watch the
Robert Urich TV show, Spenser:
For Hire. The best part of the books and TV shows is the dialogue. Smart-assed,
quick wited, and quick with the come-back, Spenser kicks butt while bitching that
he can't drink coffee because of the... caffeine. And let's not forget about about
Pearl, The Wonder Dog.
Check out Spenser: Small Vices while its in reruns on the A&E
network. And search out the Spenser Book on Tape's which Burt
Reynolds reads. Burt does an amazing job re-creating the many different
characters and in rendering Spenser the smart, ass he should be.
Parker's newest private dick!
