Yet another strong episode in an excellent franchise. By definition the late Robert B. Parker left behind a finite number of Jesse Stone novels and in terms of new titles his estate has commissioned at least two other writers to keep the character of Stone before the public. In terms of television adaptations this appears to be the first title not based on an actual Parker novel. In terms of quality the change is barely noticeable and as usual it finds Jesse Stone involved in simultaneous cases. Whereas in Death In Paradise the local ambiguous gangster figure was named Finn and killed off we now have Gino Fish, ostensibly a boxing promoter, and a regular character in the Parker novels. Whilst Viola Davis was the best thing in the early episodes her replacement, Rose Gammon, played by Kathy Baker is only a notch behind Davis. Another fine episode.
