Robert B. Parker passed away

I am sad to report Robert Parker the author of the Spenser series of books has passed away today at the age of 77. The report I read did not state the cause of death.
I will miss his writing and his "Spenser" character.

Yeah, I'll miss him too. I used to read his Spenser novels years ago when I wanted a very quick read. I could almost finish one in an afternoon...just before a little nap.

What was his age? I never read anything by him.

He was 77. The wrote the Spenser detective series and the Jesse Stone series and others. Back in the 80's there was a TV show based upon his detective Spenser called Spenser for Hire.
