It’s been a whopping twenty years since the first Jesse Stone novel was published, and this fifteenth outing for the police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, keeps the bar high when it comes to entertaining hard-boiled crime.
With his ex-wife on the verge of marrying a Dallas tycoon, and his current relationship hitting rocky terrain, Jesse’s personal life is at the forefront of his thoughts. But personal preoccupations are shifted aside when a Boston crime boss is murdered, and Jesse is pretty sure he knows who did it. Enter Peepers, an assassin with whom Jesse’s been previously entangled, and there are debts to be paid. The writing is taut, visceral, visual and wry, and the plot is smartly slick - fans of the series will not be disappointed by this latest edition to the Jesse Stone canon. ~ Joanne Owen
