Publisher's Summary
Investigating a serial killer in an affluent suburban town is difficult, and with the added pressures from the town selectmen and media, the heat is turned up on Jesse. The harder these outside forces push against him, the more Jesse retreats into himself, convinced - despite all the odds - that it's up to him alone to stop the killing.
©2003 Robert B. Parker; (P)2009 Phoenix
What the Critics Say
"Told in third-person prose that's a model of economy, with sharp action sequences, deep yet unobtrusive character exploration...this is prime Parker, testament to why he was named a Grand Master at the 2002 Edgar Awards." (Publishers Weekly)

"A great introduction to a new (to me) character"
I've been a big fan of the late Robert B. Parker's Spenser for many years, and read about half of the those books in audio form. They are always very good, and occasionally great. I had never read a Jesse Stone novel until I came across this short one in a recent Audible Sale, and seeing that it was read by my hometown hero, Robert Forster, I couldn't resist.
The book was great, and I look forward to seeking out the rest of the novels in this series, especially if they are read by Forster. I know his thick Raaachester accent irritates some who aren't used to it, but his characterizations and smooth demeanor are dead-on for this type of book. Great fun!2 of 2 people found this review helpful -

"not so impressed"
Ususally I love Robert B Parker books, but found this one very disappointing...sorry, but this one was not worth a whole credit...a flop.

"HE SAID, SHE SAID"
With 9 out of 10 sentences ending in "SAID", it's too disconcerting to listen to. Poor writing.

"a lot of foul language"
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?Although the story is very good, i did not enjoy this book because of the language

"Loved it...but I may be a bit biased"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Oh yeah...they're just good stories.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?Well, I knew the plot before I read the book, and it didn't disappoint. It follows pretty closely with the movie, which I saw first.
What about Robert Forster’s performance did you like?He brings Jesse Stone to life as I picture him; Tom Selleck's portrayal probably makes me a bit biased, but Forster's performance is what I wanted to hear.
Any additional comments?Well worth it.

Liked it will buy another. The reader's script was the only part that needed help.
