ROBERT B PARKER'S THE HANGMAN'S SONNET BY REED FARREL COLEMAN is the next installment of the Jesse Stone series. Truth be told this is the first of any of Parker's books I have read ! I enjoyed it very much. So much I'm planning on hunting up more. As for the review: The in depth review, if you will, of Jesse's drinking & mourning helped me enjoy this book. Any other time I would have criticized the droning on of the issues, but being a newbie it gave me time to really get to know all the characters.
Sheriff Stone is having trouble in Paradise, literally! His drinking & his mourning is pushing him towards not only self destruction but the destruction of his friendships and his job! Stone has been tasked for security for a has been singer/songwriter by a mayor he can't stand( and vise versa). He has a robbery and a homicide and an assault to deal with, his best friend is leaving Paradise . I still find the mystery a good one & hope to see more of a hopefully more sober Sheriff Stone in the future.
I recieved this book free from Netgalley in exchange for a review.
