I’ve finished another five Spenser’s:
A Catskill Eagle (#12) covers the adventures of Spenser breaking Hawk out of a small town jail and the two of them rescuing Susan Silverman (Spenser’s estranged main-squeeze) from her current boyfriend and his diabolical father.
Taming a Sea Horse (#13) is a follow-up from a previous novel where a young woman whom Spenser rescued goes missing again.
Potshot (#28) is a sort of Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven story about Spenser and his six pals (get it?) taking a small Arizona town back form a gang of murderous ruffians.
Widows’s Walk (#29) has Spenser investigating the locked room murder of a woman’s husband to save her from unjust conviction.
As always there were fresh, engaging, and a lot of fun. There’s only two of them left so after those I’ll probably get back to more military history and other non-fiction.
