Publisher Description
The body in the trunk was just the beginning. Turns out the stiff was a foot soldier for local tough guy Reggie Galen, now enjoying a comfortable “retirement” with his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in the nicest part of Paradise. Living next door are Knocko Moynihan and his wife, Robbie, who also happens to be Rebecca’s twin. But what initially appears to be a low-level mob hit takes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead on Paradise Beach. Stressed by the case, his failed relationship with his ex-wife, and his ongoing battle with the bottle, Jesse needs something to keep him from spinning out of control. When private investigator Sunny Randall comes into town on a case, she asks for Jesse’s help. As their professional and personal relationships become intertwined, both Jesse and Sunny realize that they have much in common with both their victims and their suspects—and with each other.

"Another good Jesse Stone novel. These are always fun. It is hard to read the Jesse Stone novels without picturing Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone, but then again, why wouldn't you want to picture Tom Selleck? You can't go too far wrong with Robert B. Parker. Sorry to hear that he passed away in January.,"

" This is as good a Parker book as I have read. Great interaction between the chief and his staff and of course with Sunny Randal. Easy read, but complex enough to hold your attention. "

" I am a big fan of Jesse Stone novels. This one I didn't care for. It was just ok. "

" I liked this better than the last Spencer. It's got some humor in it and some hope. "

" Fast, light, with a few quick quips to make a fun read. "

" Good story, I like where Parker was going with Jesse's personal life. Sad to think this was the last book in the series that he wrote. I'm curious to see what Brandman does in Killing The Blues. That's next on the list! "

" RIP Robert B. Parker. "

" It is good, but not wonderful, as his other books are. But in his style of writing about Jessie Stone, Robert Parker will be missed. "
— Janice, 12/31/2013 -
" Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall together in one novel makes for some interesting dialogue. However, this one lacks the punch of previous ones in the series. The love problems of the two protagonists are getting a little stale. The twins are strange characters who seem hardly believable and Parker left this about 30 pages short of his normal length. I Think this was the last in this series although we will see more Spenser novels posthumously. "
— Corny, 12/17/2013 -
" Jesse Stone. I think having a solid image of Tom Selleck in the part is what makes these books so enjoyable. I wish there were less drinking/sex, but it's not too bad. "
— Mhd, 12/17/2013 -
" I enjoyed this book, likeable characters, witty dialogue, but I did feel a little like I was waiting for the story to start, and it never really seemed to, just another episode in the Jesse Stone saga. Still enjoyed it though and sad to think this is the end to it. "
— Andrea, 11/26/2013 -
" I prefer the movies over the books! This was an okay read, nothing special about it. "
