Short sentences, short paragraphs, short chapters. Jesse Stone adventure with Crow, the killer who likes women. Together they save a 14 punk girl. ( ) audryh | Mar 30, 2009 | Our hero returns with the same great cast of reoccuring characters. What is not to like about Robert Parker? This is fun stuff for the long winter or the beach in summer. I also enjoy the video adaptions that happen on HBO... "Crow came into Jess's office and sat down. "Things happening in town," he said. "All of them since you arrived," Jesse said. Think of me as a catalyst for change," Crow said. "Or the Grim Reaper," Jesse said. Crow Smiled. You're not living in your house, "Jesse said. "Apache warriors can live off the land,' Crow said. "What do you do for food?" Jesse said. "Room Service"," Crow Said. "Hardscrabble," Jesse said. Crow nodded. (  ) ckNikka | Jan 24, 2009 | Stranger in Paradise trills along, with well-explored characters and situations. It seems like it should be implausible that a police chief would engage in the kinds of completely illegal shenanigans that Spenser is always plotting, but Parker doesn't let that bother him. (  ) greenstarfish | Nov 1, 2008 | I really like the laid-back character of Jesse Stone. Jesse teams up with Apache Indian hitman to rid Paradise of the Miami gangster who has come to kidnap his daughter and kill her mother. Fast, easy read (  ) Kathy89 | Jul 23, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399154604, Hardcover)Police Chief Jesse Stone faces his most fearsome adversary in the latest addition to the celebrated series. The last time Jesse Stone, chief of police of Paradise, Massachusetts, saw Wilson "Crow" Cromartie, the Apache Indian hit man was racing away in a speedboat after executing one of the most lucrative and deadly heists in the town's history. Crow was part of a team of ex-cons who plotted to capture Stiles Island, the wealthy enclave off the Paradise coast, by blowing up the connecting bridge. Residents were kidnapped, some were killed, and Crow managed to escape with a boatload of cash, never to be seen again. Until now. So when Crow shows up in Jesse's office some ten years after the crime, it's not to turn himself in. Crow is on another job, and this time he's asking for Jesse's help-by asking him to stay out of his way. Crow's mission is simple: find young Amber Francisco and bring her back to her father, Louis, in Florida. It should be an easy payday for a pro like Crow, but there are complications. Amber, now living in squalor with her mother, Fiona, is mixed up with members of a Latino gang. And when Louis orders Crow to kill Fiona before heading back with Amber, he can't follow through. Crow may be a bad guy, but he doesn't kill women. It's up to Jesse to provide protection. Meanwhile, Jesse's on-again, off-again relationship with ex-wife Jenn picks up steam as Jenn investigates the gang problem for her TV station. As they dig deeper, the danger escalates. The life of a young girl hangs in the balance, and saving Amber could be the miracle Jesse and Jenn need for themselves, too.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
