Description
Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone returns in a brilliant new addition to the New York Times-bestselling series.
Paradise, Massachusetts, is preparing for the summer tourist season when a string of car thefts disturbs what is usually a quiet time in town. In a sudden escalation of violence, the thefts become murder, and chief of police Jesse Stone finds himself facing one of the toughest cases of his career. Pressure from the town politicians only increases when another crime wave puts residents on edge. Jesse confronts a personal dilemma as well: a burgeoning relationship with a young PR executive, whose plans to turn Paradise into a summertime concert destination may have her running afoul of the law.
When a mysterious figure from Jesse's past arrives in town, memories of his last troubled days as a cop in L.A. threaten his ability to keep order in Paradise-especially when it appears that the stranger is out for revenge.

Greatness Continued
I had been despondent since the passing last year of Robert Parker- and that loss was magnified by the knowledge that we were losing not only him, but all his great characters: Spenser, Sonny, Jesse .....
But take heart: Robert B Parker's Killing the Blues is a novel Parker would be proud of and the fans of Paradise will embrace like a home coming.....I did! Good story line and dialog feels like home....,I eagerly await the next!
Brandman's Done It!
I purchased "Killing the Blues" with some trepidation. I have been a great admirer of Robert B. Parker's writing for many years. His writing style, his characters, and their development have always been enjoyable to me. I was greatly saddened by his passing and thought that was the last I'd see of the writing I so much enjoy.
But, I have just now finished "Killing the Blues", written by Mr. Brandman, and like all of Parker's novels, I could not put it down. He has captured Jesse Stone's persona perfectly, plus Molly, Suitcase, and other recurring characters. I hope that this new novel will be the beginning of a continuation of the writing style of one of America's greatest mystery writers.
Thank you so very much!
