Robert Parker passed away just a few months ago. His writing style has been noted for its word parsimony. His writing style was leaner than Hemingway's, it is said. I spotted his books in the bookstore just last evening and loved this one. Even the font used is terrific..simple and easily readable. Obviously Parker cared about his readers. He got to the point, was great with dialogue, and created real world characters. His books are the basis of the Jesse Stone movies on television. I intend to read as many of his works as possible, hoping to learn his style and incorporate it into my won writing.
