About the author

Robert B. Parker (1932-2010) has long been acknowledged as the dean of American crime fiction. His novel featuring the wise-cracking, street-smart Boston private-eye Spenser earned him a devoted following and reams of critical acclaim, typified by R.W.B. Lewis' comment, "We are witnessing one of the great series in the history of the American detective story" (The New York Times Book Review). In June and October of 2005, Parker had national bestsellers with APPALOOSA and SCHOOL DAYS, and continued his winning streak in February of 2006 with his latest Jesse Stone novel, SEA CHANGE.
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Parker attended Colby College in Maine, served with the Army in Korea, and then completed a Ph.D. in English at Boston University. He married his wife Joan in 1956; they raised two sons, David and Daniel. Together the Parkers founded Pearl Productions, a Boston-based independent film company named after their short-haired pointer, Pearl, who has also been featured in many of Parker's novels.
Parker began writing his Spenser novels in 1971 while teaching at Boston's Northeastern University. Little did he suspect then that his witty, literate prose and psychological insights would make him keeper-of-the-flame of America's rich tradition of detective fiction. Parker's fictional Spenser inspired the ABC-TV series Spenser: For Hire. In February 2005, CBS-TV broadcast its highly-rated adaptation of the Jesse Stone novel Stone Cold, which featured Tom Selleck in the lead role as Parker's small-town police chief. The second CBS movie, Night Passage, also scored high ratings, and the third, Death in Paradise, aired on April 30, 2006.
Parker was named Grand Master of the 2002 Edgar Awards by the Mystery Writers of America, an honor shared with earlier masters such as Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen.
Parker died on January 19, 2010, at the age of 77.

No award winning book. Just fun, entertaining reading.
Don't look for any twists or big, unpredictable surprises. There aren't any. The novel's content is very close to it's predecessor in book #2.
Jessie stuggles with his drinking problem and Mr. Parker likes to, on a continual basis, relate Jessie's sexual conquests, washed up baseball career. and divorce. One issue he can't let go of is
ex-wife Jenn, who is in a good part of the story. The see-saw between them hasn't really changed since the previous book. Jenn's large presence in Stone novels has worn very thin. She's an annoyance.
Imagine the small town scene and cast of Paradise, MA., and keep picturing Tom Selleck in the lead roll. Selleck is perfect for the TV movies of this book series. A fast, entertaining read which just will not rock your world. Subsequent Jessie Stone novels are much better than the earlier ones.
Robert B. Parker is one of my favorite writers and this Jesse Stone story is excellent. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama. There are unanswered questions.
Intriguing storyline with several subplots to keep the reader guessing. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and memorable dialogue. Jesse's conversations with Dix are informative, something one can relate to in everyday life.
I will re-read this story and always look forward to works in the Robert B. Parker series.
