Robert B. Parker


I was stunned when I saw the memorial notice in the Arts section of yesterday's Times. Robert Parker is dead? When did that happen? I found the obituary in theWednesday paper. Although he was 77, his agent said that he was thought to be in splendid health. At least his fans will not have to go cold turkey. There is a Jesse Stone novel Split Image that will be published next month. You can learn more about Robert B. Parker from his web site http://robertbparker.net .
If you have read all of the Spenser novels and are looking for another detective series, my recommendation is to try the Elvis Cole novels by Robert Crais or take a look at Novelist http://web.ebscohost.com/novp/search?vid=1&hid=108&sid=c49d523c-9ff6-4a87-8a89-c564d239456a%40sessionmgr114. Novelist is a reader's advisory database. You can use it to find read alikes, books in a series or book discussion guides. It can be found in the EbscoHost tab on our web page.
