It's been sometime (to put it mildly) since I last posted to the Pipe - I have continued to use my commuting time to listen to Audio Books, of which the library offers many. I have tended to listen to mostly non-fiction and have ignored most authors in the popular genres - like detective or crime. Until I recently picked up a Jesse Stone novel by Robert B Parker.
Stone is police chief of Paradise, MA and it seems little bit like Cabot Cove ME where what's her name/Jessica Fletcher (played by Angela Lansbury) solved the local murders that seemed to occur with startling frequency for such a bucolic seaside retreat. Paradise is depicted as a sleepy North Shore bedroom community, although it does have its share of freaky inhabitants. Anyway, as Chief Stone deals with his drinking problems and ex-wife, Parker's portrayal of him compels the reader (this one anyway) to care deeply about how the stories will end.
I highly recommend Stone Cold, unabridged, read by Robert Forster and Split image, read by James Naughton. Either of these should carry cautions about distracted driving.
