Robert B. Parker's Killing the Blues/ Michael Brandman / 274 pages

I didn't read a lot of Robert B. Parker's novels, but I did read the Jesse Stone books. After Parker's death, Brandman who wrote the scripts for the Jesse Stone TV shows, continues the series in this book. Jesse is the laconic chief of police of Paradise, Massachusetts, and with his fellow officers (Molly who doesn't give an inch, Suitcase who is learning, and the others) Jesse stops a ring of car thieves, saves a young girl who is being bullied, takes up with another woman while his girlfriend Sunny is in Europe, is adopted by a cat, and gets the guy out to get him. Jesse is quite the character. A good read tho' I don't feel that great about the publisher cashing in on Robert B. Parker after his death.
