Huge huge disappointment!!

Coleman failed to write this in the tone of a Jesse Stone story, I don't know the work of Coleman but now I don't want to, Parker had a quick sense of a 'smart retort' from Jesse with a sense of humor throughout of his 'because I'm the chief of police' and I didn't find it anywhere in the parts I read.

Yes, I just read parts, when I got to page 100 I realized what a chore it was to get through all the detailed descriptions that just wasn't the writing style of a Parker book, very boring and repetitive. I skipped about 100 pages and picked it up for a short time to see where the story stood and it hadn't moved very far so then it was just a hop skip and jump to get what I needed to know.

If there is another Stone book I'll try it and see if Coleman has written it in the style of Parker or his own style and if it in his style then I'm done with the Parker's Stone series and I'm sure there will be a lot of people feel the same, read the reviews on Amazon and the 1 stars hit it right!
