This was another good entry in the Jesse Stone series although the subject matter at times was a little hard to take. It starts out with a woman's decomposed body washing up in the Paradise harbor during race week. A lot of out-of-state yachts are in town for a yearly festival of boat racing and other hijinks. After Stone identifies the woman, a sex tape turns up with her in a graphic ménage à trois. This in turn leads to some other very unsavory activity on two of the yachts anchored in the harbor and with Stone trying to prove the owners of the yacht were involved in the death of the woman who was found in the harbor. But did they really kill her or are they just trying to cover up all the sex games that happen on their boats? There is an unexpected twist to the killing towards the end of the novel.

And along the way, Stone is trying to reconcile with his ex-wife, Jenn, and has been sober for almost a year. But will he be able to stay sober and finally get back together with Jenn? I guess I will need to finish reading this series to find out!
