High Profile Audiobook

" You can't help but picture Tom Selleck when listening to the Jesse Stone series. Story is good, though not very deep. The Police characters are great...again, you just can't listen without seeing the TV show actors. The reader is perfect for the location of the story. Only have one real complaint...problem is, it's GLARINGLY BIG! Parker's writing style is definitely not meant for audio books. The use of 'he said' 'she said' 'Jesse said' 'said' 'said' 'said' 'said' 'said' 'said'... yea get the picture. If I had a penny for each time Parker used 'said' in this book alone, I could eat a waygu filet mignon & lobster at the finest restaurant every meal for a week!!! Oh well... Don't say you weren't warned! "

" Not bad. But God I just hate Jenn. "

" I really liked this style of writing. It made me feel like I was in the room actually listening to all the conversations. Good murder mystery and this was my first book by this author but it won't be my last. "

" Certainly not Mr. Parker's best work. The main characters are annoying if not stupid "

" It was ok. Helped to pass time. "

" Okay - this high profile, controversial commentator dies and just about everyone is a suspect. At least the dialogue is fun and the sidebar storyline is good. Jesse Stone's love life too pretty complicated for me to understand. And, I don't think I really want to understand it. "

" Stone investigates a shocking double murder-that of a controversial radio talk-show host and his pregnant mistress. "

" I jus tlove the Jesse Stone series. "

" Excellent; Continuing character: Jesse Stone; a radio talk show host and his girlfriend are murdered and Stone works to solve it while dealing with personal problems as well "

" He said, she said, was probably written 10 to 15 times on each page. Really?? Oh no, not a good author at all! "

" See Spare Change. Sound recording. "

" Fast reading, good story and characters. The only negative is that the characters speak in short, choppy sentences. "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 5 stars "

" Elementary writing, predictable, all wrapped-up in a nice little bow. "

" This story was not completely developed. Parker spends a lot of time quoting his characters and it's easy to lose track of who is talking sometimes. "

" I give up on this author, even though I liked the first book of his that I read. Just too sexist for me. "

" If you like the previous Jesse Stone mysteries, you'll like this one too. "

" Parker is always worth reading. "

" Scott Sowers is a good narrator for this series. "

" High Profile was a fun book to read. Jesse Stone is a perfect police chief. The only thing I don't like about the Stone novels is Stone's ex-wife. Other than her, the characters are absolutely wonderful and work perfectly together. "

" Has all the regular characters -- sunny, jenn, state police captain, spike. typical story with all the strangeness of a spencer story. "

" First time I'd met Jesse Stone. Great character. Loved the book. Another good one by Robert Parker. "

" As with all of Jesse Stone series books,it is a quick read and I finished it within three or four hours. Not much in-depth but fun to read. All the endings seam to be about the same. "

" This book is from the Jesse Stone series. This is one of my favorite series. The characters are great and so is the writing. This is a book I could sit and read cover to cover. "

" Robert B. Parker, always the master of dialogue. This was no exception. Liked the twist at the end. "

" Parker does better when he has a decent plot. This time, the plot is there to give the characters a chance to show their depth. Sadly, they do. Still, any Parker moves along and works to kill time as needed. "

" This book is from the Jesse Stone series. This is one of my favorite series. The characters are great and so is the writing. This is a book I could sit and read cover to cover. "

" Not as good as some of the earlier ones, not crazy about the Sunny Randal connection, but still a good read. "

" It was great to have another Jesse Stone fix but sadly this was my least favorite of the series. The mystery involved was not too complex-easy to figure out. If you enjoy the Jesse Stone series like I do you will still enjoy reading it but like I say not the best of the series. "

" While the book was good, it wasn't in the same category as some of Mr. Parker's other books. Maybe I'm so used to really loving his work, that when something okay comes along, I'm not happy. To much of this story was predictable. The characters were spot on, though. "

" The story was OK - it felt like a rehash of a Spenser novel in many ways. The narration suffers from Parker's use of 'he said', 'Jesse said', 'she said'. You can skip over these in the book and hardly notice them but they really stick out when spoken. "

" Elementary writing, predictable, all wrapped-up in a nice little bow. "

" Another Jesse Stone intraspective. He solves the murder and still can't resolve his love life. Good character, and as always a good story from Parker. "

" Unflappable police chief Jesse Stone is back working a double murder in his town and trying to cope with his own personal problems. Parker has written another chronicle of the evil that men (and women) do. A good beach book, "High Profile" is a good read. "

" I have enjoyed the Jesse Stone movies and thought I would give one of the books a try. I don't understand the relationships of the divorced people - still loving each other but can't be together, the promiscuity, the drinking. The mystery was a good one, however. Jesse Stone is so smart! "
