I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jesse Stone books with the numerous authors that have done Parker right. These last couple of books that Lupica has written has me questioning what happened. Were these books written without reading the previous installments. Jesse was never in love with Abbey, there is no mention of Diane, whom he was really in love with. There is no mention of Bill, his sponsor…..I feel like the timeline is off and if I somehow read the books out of order. Even Cole, from becoming a Statie to now a lawyer out of the country…..somethings off. Even the use of ‘ay, that was nowhere prior to Lupica.

Good story and writing, but a little complex at the ending. Worth the read if you have the patience.

Very well written book in the Jesse stone series, couldn’t put it down.

I started the series on this book, hoping that the story itself could stand alone. However, it gets so bogged down explaining what all happened to every single person in town previously that I couldn’t follow the story at hand. We get it! There were books before this one. I couldn’t finish it.

Fallout is another great book in this series. Mike Lupica captures the style of our favorite author Robert B. Parker. I am grateful that the stories keep coming! Fallout has so many twist and turns that the excitement level is in high gear! The characters remain true to real live people. The personalities blend well within the group. I only buy a few $14.99 + tax Apple books anymore. This one was worth it!
