	Robert B. Parker Death in Paradise Reviewed by Terry D'Auray
		Jesse Stone is the Chief of Police in Paradise, Mass, a small town outside Boston.
		Robert Parker is the acclaimed author of over 20 Spenser mysteries, and the one detective writer who has most successfully channeled the hardboiled writing of Raymond Chandler in the 40's to the hardboiled mystery novels of the 80s and 90s".
		Parker's books are quick reads, great character-driven detective novels with robust writing and delightful, humorous dialogue.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Sea Change - Robert B. Parker - Hardcover
		This fifth installment of Parker's Jesse Stone saga (Night Passage, Trouble in Paradise, et al.) is one of his most breakneck novels to date; the nitromethane-fueled pacing of Sea Change will leave readers breathless -- as will the book's unanticipated ending.
		I now look forward to going back and reading Parker’s other novels.
		The murder of a woman aboard a sailboat leads Stone into a world of wealth and depravity centered on a couple of yacht owners from Florida and their crowd.

	Reason magazine -- November 2000, Anarchies, States, and Utopias by Jesse Walker
		In a quartet of novels–The Star Fraction (1995), The Stone Canal (1996), The Cassini Division (1998), and The Sky Road (1999)–MacLeod sets up several societies then lets them loose in something akin to the real world, where they can compete, infiltrate each other, and try to come to terms with their internal contradictions.
		The Star Fraction almost puts forward a conspiratorial interpretation of events, and in The Stone Canal, that’s dismissed; all the events of The Star Fraction are alluded to in a passing paragraph.
		Jonathan Wilde, the hero of The Stone Canal, lives his entire life convinced that his socialist parents were wrong, and then comes back to a socialist Solar System in The Cassini Division.

	Spenser
		A few years back, he signed a project deal with AandE to do five Spenser movies and five Jesse Stone movies.
		Parker's Spenser novels were mentioned repeatedly as a major influence on many of these writers (it was also frequently stated, to be fair, that the early books were far superior to the more recent ones.) My opinion is that the countless imitations of the Spenser books--and there are many--have tarnished our perception of the originals.
		Spenser's "neat, TV dick car" was a dark, ivy green 1966 Mustang, and the on-location shooting in Boston was a nice change of pace.

	Amazon.com: Books: Trouble in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels (Paperback))
		The story concerns Jesse Stone, chief of police of Paradise, Massachusetts, his ex-wife, various women he is sleeping with, his problem with alcohol, his interactions (good and bad) with local residents, and a gang of criminals planning the robbery of the century.
		Stone's romantic entanglements, particularly his troubled relationship with his ex-wife, add texture to the novel and are notably less sentimental than the amours of his Spenser stories.
		Robert Parker's Trouble in Paradise imagines an old-fashioned tough guys' world where most of the women are summed up by their figures and the men are measured by their ability to intimidate.

		Tara was not destroyed as Sunny's apartment was but her will to carry on is even more powerful than Scarlett O'Hara's.
