“How does one get to be a private detective?” she said.

“I hesitate to generalize,” I said. “I was a cop, found myself restless with the hierarchy, decided to go private. I was helped to that decision by getting fired.”

“You speak rather well,” she said.

“You too,” I said.

She frowned for a moment and then her face widened into a smile.

“Good for you,” she said. “I was patronizing, wasn’t I.”

If you have Netflix you have probably seen the ads for a new Mark Wahlberg movie called Spenser Confidential. I got halfway through the awesome and fun movie before realizing it was the Spenser For Hire reboot I briefly read about a while back. According to the news stories from last year, the movie was to be called Wonderland. This is a better title.    Winston Duke, who played M’Baku in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, plays Hawk. The character previously played by Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Avery Brooks.    Peter Berg is the director and this is his 5th movie with Mark Wahlberg. Mile 22, Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon and Lone Survivor. The director also made Hancock, The Kingdom, Friday Night Lights, The Rundown and Very Bad Things, but since 2012’s Battleship, his non-documentaries have all featured Marky Mark.    This movie and the Spenser For Hire series were both based on a series of books by Robert B. Parker, who also wrote books featuring the character Jesse Stone, who was played by Tom Selleck in 9 TV movies for CBS and The Hallmark Channel. He also wrote 2 Philip Marlowe (Raymond Chandler) books Poodle Springs and Perchance to Dream. HBO made a movie of Poodle Spings w/ James Caan.    I loved everything about this movie. I really hope Netflix gives us 6 more of these.     #spenserforhire #spenserconfidential #robertbparker #markwahlberg #averybrooks #startrekds9 #deepspacenine #jessestone #philipmarlowe #raymondchandler #tomselleck #mbaku #winstonduke #markymark #peterberg #wonderland #alanarkin #ilizashlesinger #mile22 #battleship #hancock #verybadthings #therundown #netflix (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tTEN6Bi_w/?igshid=8uyh0ic23y7y

It’s 11:00 in the morning and I have no writing done. I’m on deadline and I have no writing done. This is usually my cue to beat myself up emotionally which feeds all sorts of issues which if fed enough will trigger the chorus line of personal demons that I think most of us have in our heads. Once that chorus begins to chant their negative messages and dance their little dance not only is writing unlikely to happen today, but my day will be wrecked.

Finished the latest Sunny Randall novel yesterday. I’ve said before that Mike Lupica is doing a great job continuing the late Robert B Parker’s series, and he continues to do so here, with a mystery (or mysteries) with some particularly surprising twists and turns. Unfortunately, Lupica clearly wrote this with the expectation that COVID would be a thing of the past by the time the book was published. So there are a bunch of references to a pandemic that is clearly over, and none of those references were comfortable for me to read. I guess that makes this the first science fiction novel in the series? #thismakesmehappy #books #2021reading #bookstagram #mystery #mysterybooks #robertbparker #mikelupica #sunnyrandall #payback https://www.instagram.com/p/CTX5xddvcNK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Two of my side reads are #HitAndRun by @lawbloc and #TamingASeahorse by Robert B. Parker. Two of the giants in mystery and I'm coincidentally tackling them both at the same time. Both are excellent! The Parker book, as you can tell by the cover, has been on my TBR shelf for a long long time. It's a great feeling when an author you've been dying to try doesn't disappoint. . . #bookaddict #bookstagram #booktreasure #booksandcats #catsandbooks #catswithbooks #catstagram #catsofinstagram #instakitty #amreading #bookish #mystery #thriller #mysterybooks #mysterybookstagram #robertbparker (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ4NuwTLr-X/?utm_medium=tumblr

“I took my .38 out and looked to see that there were bullets in all the proper places. I knew there would be, but it did no harm to be careful. And I'd seen Clint Eastwood do it once in the movies.” ― Robert B. Parker, author of the Spencer private investigator series, which reinvigorated then hard boiled detective genre, and Jesse Stone series, who was born September 17, 1932. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesrobertbparker . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #books #bookish #bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #authorquotes #quotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #dailyquotes #september17 #robertbparker #robertparker #spencer #spencerforhire #jessestone #privatedetective #pi #hardboiled #detectivefiction #crimefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/B2g-LrhBQNZ/?igshid=yjh8pn4l2etn

I recently reread “Hush Money” by Robert B. Parker, which I originally devoured when it came out in 1999, so it’s worth rereading. When the son of Hawk’s boyhood mentor is denied tenure at his university, Hawk asks his friend, Boston private eye Spenser, to investigate and uncovers a web of blackmail, deceit, and murder.

Meanwhile, Spenser’s psychologist girlfriend Susan Silverman asks him to handle another pro bono case: an old college friend who’s the victim of a stalker, but Spenser’s a little too effective as the college friend starts stalking the P.I.

Parker’s prose is always an enjoyable read now as then, especially Spenser’s banter with Hawk and Susan. Five stars.

Spenser For Hire S01E02 The Choice - https://www.imdb.com/tv/watch/tt0706739 (Free to watch currently on IMDB) Hawk’s mentor from the gym is shot., and the killers are a couple of thrill killers and related to powerful people.  The second regular episode features Angela Bassett, Patricia Clarkson and William H. Macy.  Since watching the new movie Spenser Confidential on Netflix, I started the show on IMDB. It’s very much an 80’s TV detective show.       #spenserforhire #spenserconfidential #robertbparker #roberturich #averybrooks #startrekds9 #deepspacenine #ds9 #angelabassett #patriciaclarkson #williamhmacy #thechoice #barbarastock  (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91TM2RBDPW/?igshid=r8goisy12w1g
