Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Parker's two non-Spenser leads, Boston PI Sunny Randall, and Paradise, Mass., police chief Jesse Stone, join forces in this breezy, fast-paced whodunit. Buddy Bollen, a sleazy Hollywood producer, hires Sunny to protect his girlfriend, Erin Flint, a stunning action star who's trying to become major league baseball's first female player, for Buddy's franchise, the Connecticut Nutmegs. When one of Erin's entourage turns up dead, Sunny discovers that the deceased was Erin's younger sister, Misty, and that the two share a sordid past. Since the murder takes place on Jesse's quiet turf, the detective and the police chief, both of whom are on the rebound from failed marriages, must take each other's measure and are soon sizing each other up romantically. While the mystery's resolution may be fairly predictable, the witty byplay between the principals and the convincing portrayal of their burgeoning relationship will leave Parker fans eager for the next book to feature Sunny and Jesse as sleuthing and romantic partners.

BLUE SCREEN revolves around a wheeler-dealer movie mogul, his rising-star girlfriend, and murder. However, the heart of the story is the newly formed working relationship of Boston P.I. Sunny Randall and Police Chief Jessie Stone, from the coastal town of Paradise. Narrator Kate Burton is faced with the tough challenge of giving voice to Jessie Stone, played by Tom Selleck in three TV movies. She comes through by keeping tight control of Sunny Randall, who tells the story from her point of view. Both Randall and Stone are presented in Burton's clear and precise natural voice; she uses a bit of a New England accent to differentiate other characters. Her emotionally charged portrayal of starlet Erin Flint is top-notch. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
