    Flamingo Blood Rains Thin in Paradise
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2007*

TROUBLE IN PARADISE, # 2 in Parker's Jesse Stone series, is a quietly seething thriller with explosives to boom.  In this type of deep plot action, here's how one chapter should end and the next one begin:Chapter ending:>> When the police car was halfway across, the bridge began to ripple.  The ripple turned into a heave.  And, as the sound of the explosion came rolling into the real estate office, the bridge went up and the police car went with it, somersaulting slowly in among the pieces of the disintegrating bridge.  One of its doors blew away and the hood tore off, and the car languidly turned over and planed onto the gray harbor and disappeared....<<Next chapter beginning:>> "Exploded?" Jesse said on the radio.  "Twenty calls at least, "Molly said.  "At least five people said there was a police car on the bridge when it went." <<I'm thinking that the above quote would be all I'd need to read in a review, to decide to pick up this novel.  As I read the above passage, arriving at it through a steady-speed-progress from the beginning of the book, my first question, after being impressed with the explosive clarity of Parker's syntax, was, "Did Jesse's two patrolmen survive that percussion and splash?"Of course I won't tell you what happened before or after the bridge appeared to take a short flight toward heaven then slammed into hell.Temperature-rising-subplots twined perfectly from Macklin's gang's preparatory machinations to Jesse's personal and professional life's percolation.  Various relationship scenes provided entertaining psychological miasma for wading through balsamic sex-pot stews.  Jenn was showing daily as a TV weather girl in Jesse's territory, working to keep him while dating openly on the side.  Since that didn't keep her busy enough, she attacked Kay Hopkins, a well-heeled, town snob-lady who had caused Jesse grief.  Kay's nose slipped from its upward slant as blood spewed from Jenn's landed fist.  What does Jesse do with that?What caused that cowgirl episode was a previous scene which was even more entertaining than Jenn's fist action which landed her in jail.  In that earlier scene, Jesse deftly dealt with a group of town snobs (including the Hopkins) and their lawyer.  The situation opened in Jesse's office, appearing to be featuring Jesse's tail caught between a lid and a pot.  Fear not.  Jesse turned the rip-tide with finesse wrought hot.  Loved it!As if those perks in a work of fiction weren't enough, TROUBLE IN PARADISE introduced a "Crow" bad guy, honor-coded-predator, who could be Hawk's dark twin.This Jesse # 2 had all I could hope for in an engrossing escape read, with an ending firing on all cylinders in Parker's redemption repertoire.

    Another good Jesse Stone novel
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021*

While the Jesse Stone novels probably aren't as well known as Mr. Parker's other series,  I like the Jesse Stone novels the best.  Stone is the police chief of Paradise and besides dealing with an ex-wife he still loves  and loves him in her own way, and trying to watch his drinking, he still manages to take care of things in Paradise.  That is until a gang of criminals come, isolates an area of Paradise only accessible by boat or bridge, then commences to rob the bank, every store, and even households.  Now Jesse has to figure out how to get to the cut off area, rescue the hostages, and capture the criminals.  Another great book by Mr. Parker.

    Overcoming Just Being Jesse
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018*

This is the second Jesse Stone book I have read (out of order) and I don't remember him being the vulnerable person in the other book he seems to be here.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the book, although it could have been written with less f-words, although the usual twists you expect were not there.  However, just because twists weren't there doesn't mean the book doesn't have its share of stumbling blocks for Jesse to encounter.  His sex life causes him some problems, and his ex-wife certainly creates problems, his addition to alcohol is a problem, and there are people in the town of Paradise who are unhappy because he does his job with out regard to those who think the world spins around them.  But these are the superficial events to the book's main event:  a gathering of six hardened criminals who intend to cut off the island of Stiles (in Paradise's police jurisdiction) from the shore long enough to knock off its bank and steal from its rich citizens, and a hostage situation is created.  Good book.  I don't usually read a book of this size in twenty four hours during a weekday, but I did this one.
