Title: Jesse Stone is a No-go
Review: If you want to know the truth, Robert B. Parker needs to give up on Jesse Stone as a character. Parker is one of the finest mystery writers around and his Spenser series is second to none, and I think that he needs to stick with his strength (Spenser & Hawk). This isn't a terribly bad novel, but it certainly isn't that good, either. The plot is okay but slow and even a little tedious. The conclusion is so formulaic that it is totally unsatisfactory.The main problem that I had with this book is that the characters are less than satisfactory and not entirely likeable. Jesse Stone is allegedly trying to confront his alcoholism but refuses to do anything about it. His ex-wife is a burden rather that an asset- she serves no useful function. The various minor characters are rather poorly drawn and add but little to the book.My advice is to pass on this one, particularly if you are a big fan of Spenser.
