Another fast-paced entry in the Jesse Stone series. This is the second book in the series written by Brandman after the passing of Robert B. Parker. I actually read this one in one afternoon. As usual, it was filled with crisp dialog which made the pages turn really fast. The novel was typical of the series and included a few different storylines. First, a movie crew moves into Paradise to make a film with a leading lady whose husband is seeking revenge against her for filing for divorce and giving him a worthless check right before she travels to Paradise for the movie. Then there are complaints about the cost of Paradise's water being more than what is being actually used by the residents. And there is the problem of a young girl who disregards the law and causes an accident while texting on her cell phone. Jesse works his way through the cases as usual and as usual has a new love interest...this time an assistant working on the movie. Overall, I thought this one was a little below par for a Stone novel but would still mildly recommend it for fans of the series.
