Wednesday, May 8, 2013Spenser Tour: Day 1   BOSTON -- I got into town on Monday, checked into hotel in the Back Bay, and went right to Davio's for a lobster roll and Sam Adams on tap. That night I walked to Fenway on Newbury Street -- perfect cool Boston night -- and watched the Sox beat the Twins in extra innings. Tuesday was filled with back-to-back book signings and press across Boston highlighted with a talk with the great Joan Parker at Barnes & Noble. Another real highlight was having lunch (along with a whiskey and several glasses of wine) at the historic Tavern Club with new pal Jim Bride. The club is a private society that has hosted readings for Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling! Truly old Boston with dark paneled walls and linen table cloths. Now I'm onto New York City for a mass book signing at the Putnam mothership and then a talk on Spenser at the Mysterious Bookshop in TriBeCa with my pal, Otto Penzler. More soon -- Ace

Just finished the new Spenser - Wonderland. Loved it, except for you slamming my favorite bourbon, Wild Turkey. Ace, you are obviously not a connoisseur of bourbons, which surprises me. WT is aged over 2 years.....

You have Spenser down in this novel and are a worthy successor to Robert B. Parker, of that there is no doubt. Great book and very timely. A couple of things: Wild Turkey is not cheap bourbon, it is a premium brand. The other thing is the 1010 Commonwealth Ave has not been the General Headquarters of the Massachusetts State Police since the early 1990's. There is even a map pointing to State Police Headquarters in the inside of the cover of the book. The devil is always in the details. 1010 Commonwealth Ave is an office building today. Correct address of Mass State Police General Headquarters is 420 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA. M.E.L. Leominster, MA Permanent Link | posted by
