I've recently started working through Robert B. Parker's "Jesse Stone" books. I'm enjoying them quite a lot. Short, but not overly simplistic,. Decent amount of action, sex and violence, but not gratuitous or cartoonish. Interesting and engaging police stories, somewhere between procedurals and character driven mysteries, at least as I think of the terms.
I came to know of Jesse Stone through the Tom Selleck TV movies, which I like a lot. Compared to the movies, the books, both in stories and in the character of Jesse, are just similar enough to be recognizable, but different enough to be quite separately enjoyable.
