Book Reviews of Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Book Review: A Visit To Paradise
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't understand reviewers who complain about Robert B. Parker's books all being alike. That's what's so great about them! They are consistently satisfying. Stranger in Paradise, featuring police chief Jesse Stone, is no exception. Characters include unsympathetic victims, a sympathetic (well, sort of) bad guy, and a whole bunch of really, really bad guys whom Jesse outsmarts in the end. (Not ruining any surprises here.)
As Parker's characters so often do, Stone and his able officers Suit and Molly find themselves wrestling with moral dilemmas involving violence, loyalty, duty, and justice. The most unexpected development in this book concerns Molly. See, even the predictable Parker can still surprise us. (Me, at least.) Now if only he would get Jesse to dump Jenn once and for all. Puh-leeze. The woman's not good enough for you, Jesse! For cryin' out loud, get over her. That'll solve your drinking problem right there.
