Jesse Stone is back in “Damned if You Do” and that’s a good thing. The novel opens with a dead body found at a beachfront motel. Paradise Police Chief Jesse Stone has no idea who she is. He makes this case his own and delves into the dirty world of pimps and prostitutes as he tries to solve the homicide. Michael Brandman once again takes the reader into the world created by Robert B. Parker and does it very well. The dialogue is snappy and the story races along with a great conclusion. “Damned if You Do” is a great addition to the series.
