The brilliant new novel in Robert B. Good thing, too, because Jesse Stone is preoccupied with the women in his life, both past and present. Peepers, a psychotic assassin who has caused trouble for Jesse in the past. And though Jesse and Jenn have long parted ways, Jesse still feels responsible for her safety. But whose blood, and just how much?. But those concerns get put on the back burner when a major Boston crime boss is brutally murdered. Still, there’s a debt to pay and blood to be spilled to satisfy it. Jesse and Diana head to Dallas for the wedding and, along with the tycoon’s security team, try to stop Peepers before the bill comes due. With Peepers toying with the authorities as to when and where he’ll strike, Jesse is up against the wall. As his ex-wife, Jenn, is about to marry a Dallas real-estate tycoon, Jesse isn’t too sure his relationship with former FBI agent Diana Evans is built to last. Parker’s New York Times–bestselling series featuring police chief Jesse Stone. All is quiet in Paradise, except for a spate of innocuous vandalism. Peepers has long promised revenge against the Mob, Jesse, and Suit for their roles in foiling one of his hits—and against Jenn as well. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Jesse suspects it’s the work of Mr
Avid Reader said Robert B. Parker has definitely left the building. I love the Jesse Stone character. I love the way Tom Selleck protrays him in the movies. I am a huge fan of Robert B. Parker's books and I, like thousands of others, mourned his passing and wondered how his writing legacy would continue. The first couple of books after his demise were a very good attempt to carry on but this one is completely devoid of the quick-chop, witty style Mr. Parker made so famous. The writing is good, the story line carries on with the same characters, and the Jesse Stone I have come to know and enjoy is still pret. Cincy Book-diva said I'm done. I have bought all the Parker books--but if this author continues I will not be buying more of this series. Wordy, lack of humor, and a needlessly complicated plot. The ending managed to be both predicable and unlikely.. "Boring and disappointing to a fan" according to Howard S.. Very disappointing. Lacking the plotting, feel for the characters and most importantly the [lack of witty] dialogue. Jesse is actually boring in this novel. All of the characters are tired and basically looking forward too retirement in Florida. Plot is predicable and lacking any nuance. I love all of the Jesse Stone books, the cast of characters, good and bad. This one is just plain boring.
