MY first exposure to Jesse Stone, Paradise, and R.B. Parker. I enjoyed the persona of the police force, particulaarly Jesse's laid back style and commitment to virtueously serving and protecting. Story line, as discussed by other reviewers was mildly engaging. Ending quite predictable as was most of the story. As an audio book while driving, the "he said," "she said" abysmal dialog was beyond annoying. If not for favorable reviews by ardent fans, I would have put Parker and Jesse in the "to be avoided" category. They may be worth another try, but with the comments about Jenn I am not sure.
