Reading is like beauty, all in the eyes of the beholder.
I think Spenser met Susan in one of the first 3 books but was indiscrimanantely 'knocking off' whatever hit his fancy for maybe the next 15 or twenty. With various justifications of course.

More interesting to me was the character developement of Hawk, Quirke, Vince et. al. Perhaps because I am a woman and am interested in the male perspective on male bonding.

I also like his western series, Wyatt Earp, Virgil Cole etc.
Totally different in some ways but that same dry men must be men style that made him an icon.

Sad day for me when I read his obit

That was a sad day for me too Helen, and I'll miss him for a long, long time! Good to know that you like his westerns - haven't gotten to them yet.
