Brandman's second Jesse Stone novel was a pure one-sitting delight to read. Movie people have come to Paradise again; Jesse has a new love interest, and the cat has settled in. An old lady calls shenanigans on her water bill, and, as usual, there's a troubled teen that Jesse simply can't leave to drown in her parents' slough of money and privilege. It's plain that Brandman has lived with Jesse Stone for a long time; he gets it all right. A small town on the Massachusetts coast is the setting. Jesse Stone is the town's police chief. Originally a homicide detective in L.A., this is now his home and beat. Dealing with a movie company who has come to town to film, Jesse is presented with protecting the star from a violent ex-husband. He contacts an old friend who specializes inprotection and security for high profile types. The star is spoiled and demanding, but the friend is used to it. Meanwhile Jesse has taken on straightening out a teenager from one of the leading families in town. Seems she has no regard or care about being responsible for her actions. Her parents don't see it and seem to think that money will make any problems go away. Jesse sees it different, and wants to help the girl straighten out. Jesse Stone seems to be a low keyed kind of guy. He doesn't care what people think of him, but he knows his job and knows that he is good at it. Clashing with politicians and judges is no big deal. His style is even keel and smooth. Didn't expect to finish this book as fast as I did, but the writing was smooth and moved. I had no problem turning the pages and was surprised to see how fast it went. I have another book in this series to read and am looking forward to it. A movie is being made in Paradise, Massachusetts, where Jesse Stone is the Police Chief. The star is being stalked by her estranged husband. Stone's also tracking done some strange goings on at the water company, and trying to figure out a delinquent teenager. As all Parker books are, this one has a lot of wit and heart. I won't remember this particular book five years from now, but I'll remember I enjoyed it will always happily pick up any Parker book. He is unfailingly entertaining. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Autumn in Paradise, Massachusetts, is usually an idyllic time—but not this year. A Hollywood movie company has come to town, and brought with it a huge cast, crew, and a troubled star. Marisol Hinton is very beautiful, reasonably talented, and scared out of her wits that her estranged husband’s jealousy might take a dangerous turn. When she becomes the subject of a death threat, Jesse and the rest of the Paradise police department go on high alert. And when Jesse witnesses a horrifying collision caused by a distracted teenage driver, the political repercussions of her arrest bring him into conflict with the local selectmen, the DA, and some people with very deep pockets. There’s murder in the air, and Jesse’s reputation as an uncompromising defender of the law—and his life—are on the line. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
