Another satisfying entry in the Jesse Stone series. This one could have been subtitled "Sex Comes to Paradise." First there is an outcry against a middle school principal who inspects the young schoolgirls' panties before a dance to make sure they are proper. Then there is a Peeping Tom on the loose who moves from peeping to making women remove their clothes by gunpoint. And a young girl complains to Stone about her parents who are involved in swinging or wife-swapping. Stone and his crew try to sort this all out in their usual manner while in between Stone is pondering what to do about his ex-wife, Jenn, who has moved to New York with a male producer of a TV news show that she hopes will be syndicated nationwide. This was not the usual hard-core Parker with lots of violence but it was nevertheless an enjoyable read. I like how Parker moves the story along with short chapters and lots of dialog including Stone's dry wit. Would recommend this one.
