    About this audiobook

    Autumn in Paradise, Massachusetts, is usually an idyllic time-but not this year. A Hollywood movie company has come to town, and brought with it a huge cast, crew, and a troubled star. Marisol Hinton is very beautiful, reasonably talented, and scared out of her wits that her estranged husband's jealousy might take a dangerous turn. When she becomes the subject of a death threat, Jesse and the rest of the Paradise police department go on high alert.

    And when Jesse witnesses a horrifying collision caused by a distracted teenage driver, the political repercussions of her arrest bring him into conflict with the local selectmen, the DA, and some people with very deep pockets. There's murder in the air, and Jesse's reputation as an uncompromising defender of the law-and his life-are on the line.

      A movie is being made in Paradise, Massachusetts, where Jesse Stone is the Police Chief. The star is being stalked by her estranged husband. Stone's also tracking done some strange goings on at the water company, and trying to figure out a delinquent teenager. As all Parker books are, this one has a lot of wit and heart. I won't remember this particular book five years from now, but I'll remember I enjoyed it will always happily pick up any Parker book. He is unfailingly entertaining.

      Brandman's second Jesse Stone novel was a pure one-sitting delight to read. Movie people have come to Paradise again; Jesse has a new love interest, and the cat has settled in. An old lady calls shenanigans on her water bill, and, as usual, there's a troubled teen that Jesse simply can't leave to drown in her parents' slough of money and privilege. It's plain that Brandman has lived with Jesse Stone for a long time; he gets it all right.

      A small town on the Massachusetts coast is the setting. Jesse Stone is the town's police chief. Originally a homicide detective in L.A., this is now his home and beat.Dealing with a movie company who has come to town to film, Jesse is presented with protecting the star from a violent ex-husband. He contacts an old friend who specializes inprotection and security for high profile types. The star is spoiled and demanding, but the friend is used to it.Meanwhile Jesse has taken on straightening out a teenager from one of the leading families in town. Seems she has no regard or care about being responsible for her actions. Her parents don't see it and seem to think that money will make any problems go away. Jesse sees it different, and wants to help the girl straighten out.Jesse Stone seems to be a low keyed kind of guy. He doesn't care what people think of him, but he knows his job and knows that he is good at it. Clashing with politicians and judges is no big deal. His style is even keel and smooth.Didn't expect to finish this book as fast as I did, but the writing was smooth and moved. I had no problem turning the pages and was surprised to see how fast it went. I have another book in this series to read and am looking forward to it.

      Another excellent Jesse Stone written by Michael Brandman. Paradise is being overrun by a Los Angeles film company and Jesse witnesses an accident caused by a rich teenager who was texting and ran a stop sign. Leading off with the classic, "Do you know who I am?" arrogance, she's the daughter of a wealthy contributor to the DA's election campaign so the charges Jesse files don't stick very well, and he makes it his mission to make her life a bit miserable. (All in the guise of doing what’s best for the poor little troubled girl so misunderstood by her parents -- a theme I found beyond fanciful.)A concurrent plot involves threats on the life of the film star by her estranged husband. The plots are hardly novel; it’s the characters and their relationships that make them enjoyable.I’ve listened to all of these post-Parker Jesse Stone novels and the reader is very good. They’re all pure fantasy, however, not to be confused in any way with real life. But that’s OK.

      It won’t take long for you to become engrossed in this captivating novel. Jesse Stone is dealing with three separate problems, but for him, it’s all in a day’s work. He witnesses a car crash caused by a teen texting; he investigates irregularities in billing from the water plant; and has the task of keeping an actress safe from her estranged husband. Fast-paced and a quick read, this novel is anything but predictable. Delightful entertainment.

      This novel is a quick and easy read. The story concerns three subplots: the murder of a movie starlet, a water utility fraud, and spoiled rich girl who causes a deadly traffic accident. The main protagonist is Jesse Stone, Chief of Police in the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts. In addition to solving crimes, Stone struggles with alcohol and has a complicated relationship with his ex-wife Jenn. Michael Brandman, who took over the Jesse Stone franchise after Robert Parker’s death, has replicated the Jesse Stone character pretty accurately, but the story lacks a certain edginess and noir feel of a genuine Parker book. All three subplots are resolved fairly predictably. Moreover, none of the subplots has any connection to either of the others, giving the book the feel of an anthology rather than an integrated novel. Brandman’s conclusion is more movie-like than Parker would have rendered it--all the bad guys get caught and punished, and the spoiled rich girl sees the error of her ways and develops a social conscience. Parker usually lets some of the villains live to see another day (and maybe appear in a later novel). In addition, Brandman added a preachy sub-theme of environmental awareness to the resolution of the water utility fraud, a sort of political correctness I did not detect in Parker’s novels. Evaluation: This is a good airplane book (I read it in its entirety on a flight from Chicago to Aspen), but not much more.(JAB)

      Fool Me twice is Michael Brandman's second attempt at writing a Jesse Stone novel. While it still reads to me like a movie script I really liked it. What can I say.....I am a Jesse Stone fan and need that Jesse Stone fix and this book took care of it. Fast paced, easy read, and Jesse's dry humor. It's definitely worth reading.
