“Killing the Blues” is the first of the Jesse Stone series not written by Robert B. Parker. It doesn’t seem to matter though, because Michael Brandman continues the snappy witty dialogue that was a trademark of Parker. Parker and Brandman worked together on the TV movies starring Tom Selleck, so it is obvious why he was chosen to continue the character of Jesse Stone. Through a series of events taking place in Paradise, Jesse learns that it might be someone from his past when he worked in California. “Killing the Blues” is a great addition to the series.
