Begin your Monday with Trouble in Paradise. Robert B. Parker has written another Jesse Stone winner. This is the second with this police chief, but is a standalone book. I don't usually go back to back in a series, but these are quick page turners.
cover blurb: Parker's sentences flow with as much wit, grace, and assurance as ever. Stone is a complex and consistently interesting new protagonist. I heartily agree.
Stiles Island is an exclusive wealthy enclave separated by a bridge from the small town of Paradise. What happens when that bridge is blown up? What happens when Stone finds that two women he's dated - local realtor, Marcy Campbell and also local attorney Abby Taylor have been kidnapped.
How does Jesse Stone figure out that a fresh out of prison James Macklin, along with a very bad man nicknamed Crow, are in charge of this scheme? Casualties mount. The stakes run high.
For a town called Paradise, there is a lot of trouble brewing and Jesse Stone must focus. (But, ex-wife Jenn is back and tugging at his heartstrings) Keep reading and have a "blast".
