Title: Psychobabble....
Product review: I have been reading Parker since I discovered Spenser some 20 years ago.As I today, I can officially say that I am dead tired of the constant psychobabble that turns up in the alternating chapters of nearly every one of his books. Did he start the Jesse Stone series just because he had realized he'd worn out the welcome of Susan Silverman and her dreary "insights" years ago and needed to give us a new shrink?Jesse and his crew are an interesting bunch, written in Parker's classic spare prose style, but the entire divorce/recovering alcoholic subplot bores me silly. I'd much rather have every one of those alternate chapters filled with more characters, more plot and, bottom line, more interesting story development.OK. You get the point.
