You're welcome! And you should definitely read at least one Spenser novel. They're mostly stand alone in terms of cases, but Spenser's relationships with friends, allies, and romantic partner evolve over time, making him more connected to others than predecessors like Spade or Marlowe. These relationships help define Spenser as a character, so their evolution means I suggest starting at the beginning, with The Godwulf Manuscript (which I'm rereading at the moment. :) ).
Thanks for the shoutout! And I’ve never read a Spenser novel before. I really should!
