Download As PDF : Sea Change The Jesse Stone Series eBook Robert B Parker 
When a woman's partially decomposed body washes ashore in Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone is forced into a case far more difficult than it at first appears. Identifying the woman is just the first step in what proves to be a difficult and emotionally charged investigation. Florence Horvath was an attractive, recently divorced heiress from Florida; she also had a penchant for steamy sex and was an enthusiastic participant in a video depicting the same. Somehow the combination of her past and present got her killed, but no one is talking - not the crew of the Lady Jane, the Fort Lauderdale yacht moored in Paradise harbour; nor her very blonde, very tanned twin sisters, Corliss and Claudia; and not her curiously affectless parents, living out a sterile retirement in a Miami high rise. But someone - Jesse - has to speak for the dead, even if it puts him in harm's way.

I just started reading the Jesse Stone books, after a couple of decades of Robert Parker‘s other series, Spenser, I like the setting and I like the main character, and the peripheral characters. I even like the crossover characters from the Spenser books, but I am so sick of Jenn and the fact that their relationship has been dog paddling in a circle for five books At first it was an interesting character element, drunken homicide cop, dumped by his wife, kicked off the job, and only fixing his relationship can fix him, but with 1/3 of every book dedicated to whining about it I find myself skimming as quickly as I can as soon as I see her name. She makes me long for the smug relationship between Susan Silverman and Spenser that has annoyed me for 30 or 40 books. in an actual person this would be annoying, as a plot device it’s flat painful. That said the 2/3 of this book that I actually read was very entertaining. The mystery is good, the cop shop stuff is even better (A little sexist in places) and the resolution was satisfying with a good twist. A good book that could’ve been better.Product details

Sea Change The Jesse Stone Series eBook Robert B Parker Reviews
Another great story and one not to be missed......A body of a woman is found in the sea at a time when there is many boats in port for races and usual friends getting together. After much investigating Jesse soon finds out that it is very suspicious and there is more to the story than just this woman being killed.....
This book covers the story of abuse within families and how rich people can get away with just about anything.......or can they.
I love reading Jesse Stone stories as he is such a dry character with hidden feelings. Not one for words but when he is around you would feel safe.
Robert B Parker knows who to keep all entertained and how to keep you guessing. Even if you can work out what is going on, you still want to read more on how the puzzle is solved.
Trigger warnings for incest and rape.
Intriguing
This stand-alone is both easy to follow and difficult to read due to content. No editing errors, graphic violence or drag-you-down drama.
The storyline focuses on people whose lifestyle choices have disastrous consequences. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and occasionally snarky dialogue.
“What the h@ll is wrong with me?” Jesse said.
"You’re human,” Dix said. “A common ailment.”
I will re-read this story and always look forward to new works in the series of Robert B. Parker.
I haven't read a Robert B. Parker book in a while, and I'd forgotten what a master of engagement he is. His books go down so smoothly, each chapter leaving you hungry for more. How? Why?
Part of it is just the magic that some writers have. Parker's style is simultaneously spare and full of apparently insignificant details; the effect is to immerse the reader without effort in a very real-seeming world. The impetus of the plot is internally generated, creating an organic sensation of forward momentum that all the careful study of plot structure in the world can't convey.
In other words, even late in his career the old master still had "it," whatever "it" is. "Sea Change" is almost stunningly more readable than most of what's out there.
At the same time, I can't say that it's Parker's best work. If you've read his other works, you'll recognize a lot of the same setup an undefined relationship that requires a lot of therapy sessions for the main character to understand, set against a backdrop of a sordid story of sexual exploitation and abuse. And what is this with the fake accusations of rape? Kudos to Parker for making an effort throughout his career to write interesting and sympathetic female characters, but he never could quite shake the sexualization of his women, all of whom are more or less sex-mad.
That being said, "Sea Change" is a high-quality prose treat. If you're a Parker fan, you'll probably enjoy it. If you haven't read any Parker yet, you might want to start at the beginning of the series, but this will also give you a good enough intro. Either way, you're likely to enjoy it.
