The Selleck Jesse Stone shows are by far my favorite detective videos. Like the books too. Fortunately, Parker didn’t have time to turn the Stone books into what he did with the Spencer series towards the end. The last few were preachy screeds extolling promiscuity, homosexuality, and minority superiority.
It is for similar reasons that I have now decided to no longer buy Lee Child’s books. I am reading “The Affair” now. And it will be my last. They have descended into all having the same plot: wonderful (usually flawless, always oppressed) minority people need Reacher’s help to overcome rancid, ignorant middle-class Americans who stupidly cling to their guns and Bibles. And, of course, every woman in each book (except for Neagley — do far) can’t keep her hands (and other body parts) off of Reacher — which is fine by Child who makes clear he is pro-promiscuity and abortion (should the promiscuity produce an unwanted offspring).
I am now turning my attention to Robert Crais, whose Joe Pike character doesn’t impose his leftwing politics on us. He just kills bad guys.
I haven’t read Childs’ latest .... bummer that he’s going down that route. Haven’t read much Crais, but what I’ve read, I like. :-)
You need to read Stephen Hunter.
