Jesse Stone has problems in Pardise. A man who has known connections to the mob is found murdered in the back of his van. Jesse soon realizes that the man is working for a local mobster. Interestingly enough, the mobster is married to a twin. The twin is also married to a mobster. The woman have been playing the twin game for years, even swapping partners, all the way into adulthood. Jesse isn't sure just how but he thinks their game may have been deadly for several men. In the meantime, Sunny Randall is tracking down a girl who seems to be part of a religious commune in Paradise.
This is one of Robert Parker's last books before his death. I'll miss his wit and sarcastic characters. For once, Jesse seems past all of his constant brooding over Jenn. Sunny is devasted when Richie and his new wife have a baby, but it seems that she, too, is ready to move on. What a pleasant change of pace and maybe for once, these two characters have actually decided on a future together. A nice way to end this enjoyable series.
