![]() " I am a big Spenser fan which led my to pick up this book.The Godwulf Manuscript. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:. ![]() This is the first one in the series, and only the second I've read and I am hooked!" It's a shame Parker recently passed away, good thing he wrote more than 30 Spenser books. That reminded me of the short-lived ABC show "Life on Mars" with Jason O'Mara and Harvey Keitel a year or two ago. An added plus, was what a great job Parker did of making the times come alive. As was the Boston/Cambridge area- makes me want to visit to see everywhere it took place. I missed Hawk and Susan, but all the humor, action, and suspense were all there. This was Parker's first Spenser book and it was a lot closer to Humphrey Bogart in a Raymond Chandler novel than the Robert Urich TV series. His first-person recital of his detective work makes for fast, amusing reading." (The Pittsburgh Press) ![]() ![]() "Spenser is Boston's answer to James Bond - irreverent, witty, worldy. He tackles some very heavy homework and knows that if he doesn't finish his assignment soon, he could end up marked "D" - for dead. The cops are ready to throw the book at the pretty blond coed whose prints are all over the murder weapon but Spenser knows there are no easy answers. He is hardly surpised that his only clue is a radical student with four bullets in his chest. Spenser earned his degree in the school of hard knocks, so he is ready when a Boston university hires him to recover a rare, stolen manuscript. ![]()
