Stone Cold is riviting

This is the fourth novel in the Jesse Stone series and by far the most pschological. This trip to Paradise finds Jesse the troubled cop tackling three problems: to capture the pair of serial killers who are murdering random victims in small-town Paradise, Mass., where Stone is chief of police; to bring to justice the three high-school students who gang-raped a younger schoolmate; and to come to terms with his love of both alcohol and his ex-wife, Jenn. Told in third-person prose that's a model of economy, with sharp action sequences, and deep yet unobtrusive character exploration. No wonder Parker was named a Grand Master at the 2002 Edgar Awards.

Action in Paradise

Excellent Book. Typical intriguing Robert Parket mystery. Sex, murder and mystery. In this there is an emotional subplot and a main plot with occurrences very close to Jesse's vest. This is another detective murder mystery filled with intelligent clues, emotional moments and the reader is left wondering what's next between Jenn and Jesse?

Quick read

When people start showing up dead with two bullet holes to the chest with no rhyme or reason, Jesse Stone is on the case. It appears there is a serial killer or killers in Paradise and it is up to Jesse to find them - before they find him; because it seems Jesse is next on their list.

A subplot involving the rape of a teenage girl by three boys adds a bit of depth to the plot.

As mentioned - this was a very quick read. I actually read half of Trouble in Paradise (Jesse Stone) and all of Death in Paradise (Jesse Stone), all of "Stone Cold" and a good bit of Sea Change (Jesse Stone) yesterday. These are very quick reads and difficult to put down once started. Not to be missed for the fans of Robert Parker and police procedurals!

Fast, easy read

A plot that's good enough to captivate, and a book that's short enough to satisfy. A very entertaining mystery.

Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone returns, tracking the path of a pair of thrill killers.

Investigating a serial killer in an affluent suburban town is difficult, and dangerous, and with the added pressures from the town selectmen and the media, the heat is turned up on Jesse. He's spending too much time with the bottle-and with his ex-wife-neither of which helps him, or the case. And the harder these outside forces push against him, the more Jesse retreats into himself, convinced-despite all the odds-that it's up to him alone to stop the killing.

As tough, clear-eyed, and sardonic as Jesse Stone himself, this is the Grand Master working at the peak of his powers.
