i like spenser, and i like marlowe, but i definitely agree with you. i felt that in poodle springs, marlowe had sort of morphed into spenser. robert b. parker is very profilic, and i really enjoy his work, but he doesn't like chandler. sort of reminded me of the "new" peter wimseys - just didn't hit the mark for me.
