Death in Paradise: A Jesse Stone Novel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A Jessie Stone mystery featurng the alcoholic, former L.A.P.D. detective, now Paradise, Massachussetts' new Chief of Police. "

" This is an early Jesse Stone (I can't give the publication date since I read it in large print and they only give the date it was first printed in large type). So how can I tell it's an early one? Well, first of all Jesse really does have a drinking problem. Second of all he begins therapy with the bald, enigmatic Dix, and third he and Jen are just beginning to circle around each other in their ex-marriage love affair. As far as the mystery goes, Jesse is looking for someone who killed a teenage run-away called Billie, a girl whose parents deny they have a daughter. Although Jesse finds the murderer, he doesn't delve into the dysfunctionality of a family that would deny their own daughter. I kind of like the fact that Parker hasn't dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's in this one. "

" This was a fun read. Easy to get into and easy to stay with. "

" This is the 3rd in a good series of crime/mystery stories. "

" Good charaters, like the way it is written in short conversation between charaters. "

" Another Parker read aloud. Bob and I are having fun in the evenings and on road trips reading Parker books together. We can laugh together at his witty Jesse Stone cop and trying to guess who-dun-it! Easy entertainment. "

" I enjoy the Jessie Stone novels. Seems to have more character development than Spenser, though I really like the Spenser dialog. "

" Hello Robert Parker! I have never been a fan of this type of mystery before, but in my old age, I found this Jesse Stone novel to be thoroughly enjoyable" "

" Good story, and I like his writing style. Would read others by the author. "

" Good book to listen to. Parker is reliably dry with a weird mix of tough men in therapy who are very in love and faithful to one woman but also fit archetypal roles of "cop", "private detective", etc. I find listening to them pleasantly distracting! "

" Just OK. This book suffers too much from the same thing that many of the later Spenser book does. It's more about the main character's relationships than about crimes or detection. "

" The Jesse Stone series on CD is always good for a drive in the car. "

" Good book in the Jesse Stone series. "

" I avoided Jesse Stone for a long time, but now I like him more than Spenser. "

" Timeless prose is not what Parker writes, but his books are nonetheless quite entertaining. "

" like the narrative and dialogue "

" Good enough. I am getting a little tired of the 'Jen' drama. Just tell the story. Either have them get back together or move on. Meanwhile, let's spend more time on the mystery. "

" Another strong entry in the Jesse Stone series. I'm really interested to see where Parker takes the character. There is something very enthralling about these books. "

" Robert B. Parker's novel - Death in Paradise - was excellent. I found his prose and dialogue to be tight and precise, wasting no words to develop his plot, characters, and rising conflict. "

" This is the third Jesse Stone novel. It has Jesse solving the murder of a teenager while still fighting his inner demons. He is a fun protagonist. "

" Divorced sheriff must find out who is killing young prostitutes. He is trying to get back with his ex wife, even deciding to try Theraphy "

" Not bad. This was one of the better Jesse Stone novels I have read so far. As usual there aren't really any twists or surprising things, it is just a good entertaining story that plays out in an interesting way. No depth, just entertaining reading. "

" This was an easy read. The book kept me guessing and interested the whole time. "

" C'mon Jesse, get over your obsession with Jenn. Other than that, the series is fine. "

" Man, oh man, Parker just keeps getting better. Awesome work, intelligent, clever, way above the rest. "

" Timeless prose is not what Parker writes, but his books are nonetheless quite entertaining. "

" This was my first Jesse Stone book and I liked it. The characters and the dialog are great. The story was very interesting and had lots of side stories going on that were interesting. I will be reading more. "

" Read while on a plane. finished it 2 weeks later! Easy to remember the plot "

" The books and movies great detective stories "

" I do like Parker's Jesse Stone books, but they are not as good as the movies with Tom Selleck. Death in Paradise is one of the movies, and the film was much better in its details and resolutions. So, while I can't beleive I am saying this, watch the movie. It is better. "

" The Jesse Stone series on CD is always good for a drive in the car. "

" good story. Didn't really like the "He said", "She said"as it was way in excess in the story, Also, way to much f word which was not a necessary part of the story -- it ould have been just as interesting story without all those words. "
