Title: Good Guy Wins! Good Guy Wins!
Product review: RObert Parker writes good page-turning mysteries and this one is in his upper echelon.Jesse Stone is a big-time L.A. cop who comes to be the chief of police in a small Massachusetts town. In this novel he solves two crimes - one a local rape and the other a serial killer. Along the way he has relationships with several women including an ex-wife he can not surrender. (Somehow, this middle-aged taciturn guy keeps getting the babes, but somehow it works.)The reader will find himself rooting for Stone in the rape matter and being very satisfied with its conclusion.In the serial killer plot, Stone's adversary is extremely unique and interesting. To tell more would be to ruin the first third of the book but suffice it to say Parker has masterfully created a challenging nemesis for his hero.Parker's writing, as always, is clean, concise and keeps the story moving. A good page-turner of a mystery.
