“[PARKER] HAS ANOTHER WINNER IN JESSE STONE. ”

—USA Today

“[Parker’s found] the pitch-perfect voice for a guy who is straining every muscle to cut down on the booze, hang on to his new job as police chief, and not get rattled by the body of a teenage girl. ”

—The New York Times

Praise for Death in Paradise

“Stone is a deceptively complex character, one whose problems are both interesting and completely believable .  .  . another strong effort in what is already an impressive series. ”

—Library Journal

“Beautifully wrought .  .  . [an] immensely satisfying tale. Rarely if ever has Parker’s fiction conveyed with solemn intensity the challenge of living a good life in a world of sin. The book’s ultimate pleasure lies in the words, suffused with a tough compassion won only through years of living, presented in prose whose impeccability speaks of decades of careful writing. ”

—Publishers Weekly (starred)

“What’s so cool about Death in Paradise is watching Jesse Stone’s relentless pursuit of the bad guy. ”

—St. Petersburg Times

“A page-turner .  .  . as good as it gets. ”

—The Washington Post Book World

“If you love Parker, you’ll love this book. Jesse Stone is clearly in the Parker style.

”

—Calgary Herald

“James Ellroy–style dialogue .  .  . Like Jesse Stone’s beer, Parker’s novels can be quaffed with relish. ”

—Ottawa Citizen

“[Parker’s] gift for creating engaging characters and involving the reader in their fate makes this .  .  . well worth your attention. ”

—The San Diego Union-Tribune
