What's up with Police Chief Jesse Stone? In the latest book in the Stone series, Jesse gets his new girlfriend, the funny, likable Sunny Randall, to babysit for his sourpuss ex-wife, Jenn, while he tries to figure out who killed a high-profile radio host. When is Jesse going to ditch that ex-wife and get on with the obvious? This is one of the better Stone novels, the second in the series, and Scott Sowers gives Stone just the right mix of humor and despair. We're also glad to see that Molly Crane and Suitcase Simpson are evolving into regular supporting characters. R.W.S.

A storm of media attention rains down on the small town of Paradise, Mass., and local police chief Jesse Stone when a famous national talk show host is shot and left hanging from a tree. To add to his troubles, Stone's ex-wife, Jennifer, is seeking his protection against a stalker/rapist. Overwhelmed, Stone asks current girlfriend, Boston PI Sunny Randall, to watch over Jennifer while he tries to solve the two murders. Over the years Parker has honed his writing into its own minimalist art form, conveying more meaning in one line than many authors do with pages of prose. Unfortunately, Sowers doesn't handle that prose as well as one might hope. At times his character voices run together, making it difficult to distinguish which character is talking in a scene. And, even though he has a fine speaking voice, he misses the clipped, cynical delivery that gives the Parker books their cool, dry wit. Simultaneous release with the Putnam hardcover (Reviews, Dec. 4). (Mar.)
