Description
Robert B. Parker takes readers back in Paradise, where Detective Jesse Stone is looking for two things: the killer of a teenage girl—and someone, anyone, who is willing to claim the body...
The local cops haven't seen anything like this, but Jesse's L.A. past has made him all too familiar with floaters. This girl hadn't committed suicide; she hadn't been drowned: she'd been shot and dumped, discarded like trash. Before long it becomes clear that she had a taste for the wild life; and her own parents can't be bothered to report her missing, or even admit that she once was a child of theirs. All Jesse has to go on is a young man's school ring on a gold chain, and a hunch or two.
Filled with magnetic characters and the muscular writing that are Parker's trademarks, Death in Paradise is a storytelling masterpiece.

Schwach
Die Tote in Paradise ist ein Krimi, der durch einen nervigen, ständig alkoholisierten Ermittler und sein Ego nervt. Zudem ist der Stil oder die Übersetzung einfach nicht angenehm. Es liest sich leicht, aber die Formulierungen sind oftmals schwach. Auch der Fall ist spannend, aber mau und konstruiert umgesetzt. Muss man nicht kennen.
