Death in Paradise (Jesse Stone)
Date undefinedNot a bad crime novel. There is very little mystery to any of it. You know who the criminals are, what they are going to do and how. The only mystery is what Jesse can do about it. Parker further deveops Jesse as a character. You get a little puzzled by the whole ex wife thing. Why doesn't he just forget about her? I am left wondering.
But a readable book.
Death in Paradise (Jesse Stone)
Date undefinedRobert B. Parker, best known for his Spenser series, delivers one of his finest, most absorbing works yet. This third entry in the Jesse Stone series finds Stone--a former LAPD cop fired for drinking on the job--serving as chief of police in the town of Paradise, Massachusetts, and investigating the murder of a teenaged girl whose decomposed body turns up in the local lake. As he follows slender threads of evidence into an ugly world of exploited teens, several subplots crisscross, keeping things lively.
But Jesse's struggle with alcohol and his loving, troubled relationship with his ex-wife are at least as compelling as the external plot events. Parker gives his characters an inner life, he paints an understated, believable picture of a tough guy wrestling with tough issues. This smooth-reading book goes down easy but packs a punch in the end. --
