Helpful Score: 1

This is the first Jesse Stone novel written by the author chosen by Bob Parker's widow and his publisher to carry on the popular series.

Brandman co-wrote the screenplays for the Jesse Stone TV movies along with Parker and series star Tom Selleck, so he was already deeply submerged in the very particular world of Jesse Stone.

This installment carries all the hallmarks of the series: overly clever dialogue, several simultaneous stories, romantic interludes described in superficial detail, and Jesse running around Paradise solving everyone's problems while feeling guilty that some of his behavior created them. All the usual suspects are in the Paradise Police Station. The villains for this installment veer between the truly horrible and the ones you don't mind so much when they get away with their crimes.
