The Hangman’s Sonnet by Reed Farrel Coleman

This is Jesse Stone, a Robert B. Parker character, book.   I guess the estates of successful authors license people to continue to write with the author’s characters.  Coleman appears to follow the James Patterson formula of very short chapters, I assume to make it flow faster.   This book is about Chief Jesse Stone, former ball players and current alcoholic in Paradise, Mass.   The mystery is the potential reappearance of a mysterious super group album.

The story moves well, as noted above.   The story is good.   Jesse is shown to be a flawed and thus a

realistic character.

The characterizations are good.

I enjoyed the book.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
