Trouble In Paradise by Robert B. Parker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jesse Stone, small town police chief, is back to match wits with James Macklin, a criminal who kills as easily as most people breathe. Jesse is also still struggling with ongoing relationship problems with his ex-wife and other love interests in his rather complicated and unconventional life.

What draws me back to this Series is Jesse Stone. He's a tough guy. He's smart. He gets the job done. But he's really a softy at heart. Mostly, I think I like him so much because he's human and flawed.

James Macklin has a few of the same qualities as Jesse Stone. He's smart. He's tough. He's convinced he loves his girlfriend, but, in truth, I believe he loves no one except himself. When the two come together, it makes for a most interesting read.
