Publisher Description
Autumn in Paradise, Massachusetts, is usually an idyllic time—but not this year. A Hollywood movie company has come to town, and brought with it a huge cast, crew, and a troubled star. Marisol Hinton is very beautiful, reasonably talented, and scared out of her wits that her estranged husband’s jealousy might take a dangerous turn. When she becomes the subject of a death threat, Jesse and the rest of the Paradise police department go on high alert. And when Jesse witnesses a horrifying collision caused by a distracted teenage driver, the political repercussions of her arrest bring him into conflict with the local selectmen, the DA, and some people with very deep pockets. There’s murder in the air, and Jesse’s reputation as an uncompromising defender of the law—and his life—are on the line.

"You would never know Parker is dead as Brandman's touch is seamless. Another quick and engaging read that leaves you anxious for the next book. Love this series and the character, Jesse Stone. In this installment Jesse deals with an arrogant rich girl, a movie crew, and problems at the water department. Jesse continues to push against those who would control him, whether they be bureaucrats, the rich elite, or politicians. Some surprising turns in the plot that capture the meaning of the title. Now this would be a great weekly TV series instead of the made for TV movies with Tom Selleck."

Robert B. Parker's Fool Me Twice Listener Reviews
-
" Shouldn't even rate one star.....and I paid full price for the hardback! I LOVE Robert Parker's books and someone wrote another Spenser book after Parker's death, I read that and it was good--got the dialog down pat. This however, was terrible. It reads like a screenplay. This person walked here, this person came through the door, etc. Very one dimensional. Jesse falling for the new woman so fast just seemed to be obligatory romantic interest, Brandman's attempt to portray Jesse's laconic speech seemed rude instead of sassy, absent was the usual entertaining conversation with Molly and Suitcase, the movie star is a caricature of snobbery and self-centeredness, and the parents of the teenager who keeps breaking the law are also caricatures of well-to-do's who think they have the right to buy everyone off and then demand return favors. I won't be fooled twice by this author. "

" Firtst time for reading Brandman's continuation of the series, very true to form, but brings some of himself to the project. "
— Michael, 2/12/2014 -
" Nice fast paced book to read. I always enjoyed the series on tv of Jesse Stone with Tom Selleck. I could imagine him "talking" while reading this book. Now want to read some more! "
— Beryl, 2/6/2014 -
" Jesse didn't say anything. That is in almost every 2-5 page chapter in this book and one of the reasons these mysteries read so quickly. Very sparse dialog and quick paced plot. Not for the heavy duty literature reader. Just fun. "
— Karenbike, 2/5/2014 -
" Not a big Robert Parker fan, but I did like his Jesse Stone series. But I only started reading it after seeing the made-for-TV movies starring Tom Selleck. Parker's writing was very spare and simple, and the new author, Micheal Brandman, continues that style. Frankly, it was hard for me to determine a difference between Parker and Brandman, so I enjoyed the book. Typical Jesse Stone though. The small town peace and quiet interrupted by spurts of amazing violence. Looking back, Stone isn't doing a great job protecting Paradise. There are murders there much more frequently than in a typical small Massachusetts town. What I hated about this book though: Jesse's new pet is a CAT!!! Sorry, Chief Stone is NOT a cat man. He's a dog lover to the end. That didn't sit well with me but overall three stars. "

" I will just say that when Robert B. Parker died the world lost a great author. These are just not the same. "
— Patti, 1/25/2014 -
" Thoroughly enjoyed this book! I could easily picture Tom Selleck as the part of Jesse Stone!! "
— Vickie, 1/7/2014 -
" Always enjoy Jesse Stone's adventures. This one I found to be a little too predictable, perhaps a little shallower than some of the others. Perhaps I am still getting used to Brandman's style of Jesse Stone. "
— Anne, 12/17/2013 -
" Quickest read ever. This second attempt at mastering Parker's Jesse Stone is light years better than the 1st. "
— Lesliebasney, 12/10/2013 -
" Another well written tale of Jesse Stone. If you enjoy the life of Jesse in Paradise Mass, it's a book for you. "
— Rosemary, 11/3/2013 -
" Love Jesse Stone, miss Robert B. Parker. "
— Barb, 9/11/2013 -
" Oh how I miss Robert B. Parker. While Mr. Brandman did try, he failed to bring the characters "alive". I hope that he either finds a way to make them more real or ends the series. "
— Chuck, 8/14/2013 -
" Easy and fun to read. It really read just like the movies. "
— Faith, 6/13/2013 -
" robert b. parker is the author i'm sorriest we've lost of late. can't say that the heir to his jesse stone series is worthy--perhaps will improve over time. "

" Fun to read, read in 1 day "
— Kim, 10/20/2012 -
" This was a great easy read. Quite mindless, but just what I needed. "
— Barbara, 10/3/2012 -
" Pretty good Jesse Stone story. Not the same Jesse Stone written by Robert Parker, however. I think this one is much more likeable. The narrator did a good job, also. Short, but interesting with several different story lines. "
