The discovery of a dead body strewn with photos of murder victims and placed atop $2 million cash incites the Jesse Stone sequel Robert B. Parker's Buried Secrets . Art: Monica Cordova Design: Lisa Amoroso As fans expect of Parker continuation authors, Farnsworth 's prose flows. Setting up a plot of mob men coming to Paradise after the evidence and money, he also has Chief Stone bring aboard tarnished young cop Derek Tate, whose past reminds Jesse of his own. Jesse's eagerness to give Tate a fair shot at redemption gets him grief at work and in town. As familiar as Jesse Stone's viewpoint is, I'm most impressed that Farnsworth leaves it often enough to flesh out Tate and the mob men and widen the range of the action. I look forward to his next entry. Thanks to Putnam Books for the NetGalley. Robert B. Parker's Buried Secrets will be published February 4, 2025. Want to chat further? Join Fans of Robert B.
