New Jesse Stone Book
Hey gang,
Just noticed there is a new Jesse Stone book coming out soon. Its called Night and Day and will be released Feb 24th 2009.
The more books there are the more of a chance we will keep seeing TS playing the role!

I finally got around to reading this one. It's a pretty lightweight affair, but a fun read nonetheless.
This is mainly due to the fact that it's nearly impossible not to picture Selleck in the role at this point. My favorite entries are also the ones that capture the small town feel of Paradise and feature a relatively simple crime. (And the latest "villain" may be the simplest one yet! )
**spoilers**
Thank God Parker may have finally heard the cries to ditch this annoying character forever. I'm all for a character carrying a torch, but there's a limit to how far it should be taken. After her little stunt in High Profile, she should've been booted out of Paradise for good.

Seems like everybody hates her.
Shermy, I always had trouble reading the women he dated were older than Jesse Stone, otherwise I pictured TS as Jesse all the time.
(Note: 'otherwise' is the wrong word in this sentence, but can`t think of the right one now, Golf?? Help, please

Carmen,
I don't have a problem with your use of "otherwise" in that sentence. It makes perfect sense. You could easily substitute "other than that" or "except for that choice," and the sense of what you are saying is quite clear. I don't recall Jesse's always dating older women -- he sure can't do that in the TV movies, though, can he? "They" never put the older guy with an older gal -- except maybe that one movie with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, but I think that's pretty much the exception. His previous romantic hit was with Helen Hunt, and she's certainly much younger. Speaking of HH, wasn't she kicked around as being the one to play Sunny Randall? I wouldn't mind seeing her in that role playing opposite TS as JS.

Yeah, there's also the occasional mention of Stone being a much younger guy, but I still picture Magnum anyway.Carmen wrote:Shermy, I always had trouble reading the women he dated were older than Jesse Stone, otherwise I pictured TS as Jesse all the time.
It almost feel like Parker now writes the character as if Selleck were delivering the dialogue.

I read (past tense - pronounce "red" not "reed") the books pre-TS' playing the character, so I had a hard time initially putting TS into that character. In my opinion, he plays the character a lot differently than I had imagined the character. When I read the books, I still "see" "my" Jesse Stone, and when I watch the movies, it's like a totally different story. I find TS' interpretation much gloomier than I picture the character being. Not that it's wrong, it's just different. I can like both, but in my mind they are separate.

Jesse Stone (Selleck) is a New England police chief investigating a ... Having said all that, this adaptation of the Parker book is exceptionally well done.
