Killing the Blues

I was disappointed when Robert Parker died and realized there would be no more Spenser novels or Sunny Randall or Jesse Stone novels and especially the Hitch and Cole novels that take place in the old west.  Killing the Blues was written by Michael Brandman and leads us through another Jesse Stone mystery.  I must admit that Mr. Brandman has done a very good job.  Jesse continues with his short, curt answers to most questions and continues to skirt the laws to make the end justify the means.  Killing the Blues is a quick read, but before you indulge in this novel at least read the first Jesse Stone novel, Night Passage, so you will get to know Jesse and how he arrived in Paradise.
