Robert B. Parker's Colorblind
by Reed Farrel Coleman
4 stars for a library book that I raced through in 2 days, even though it was 356 pages. Reed Farrell Coleman has done an excellent job of carrying on the Jesse Stone series. He writes short chapters and short sentences, in the Robert B. Parker style. The main characters, Jesse, Molly Crane, his chief deputy, Luther Simpson, another deputy, and other continuing characters are still described as I envisioned them from the beginning. This book has Jesse back from Rehab, where he finally gave up alcohol.
The book opens with a rape and a brutal beating, so definitely not for cozy mystery fans. Although the rape and beating are in a neighboring town out of Jesse's jurisdiction, he is called to the scene, because of a similarity to a past crime. Several incidents, including the rape/beating point to a disturbing theme: Some people are targeting interracial couples.
Jesse does solve the case, but not before several people are killed and he is attacked. There is also a new character in Jesse's personal life. Both my wife and I enjoy this series. I recommend this series be read in order, because of events in Jesse's personal life.
