The always dependable Tom Selleck returns as Robert B. Parker's small town police chief Jesse Stone in Death in Paradise, the made-for-TV sequel to Stone Cold, his 2005 debut as the character. Stone is a grittier, more human (and vulnerable) role than the one that made Selleck famous (playboy detective Thomas Magnum of Magnum, P.I.), but his tenacity and character flaws (a drinking problem and latent feelings for his ex-wife) seem a comfortable fit for the older Selleck. And the mystery itself--which surrounds the death of a young student whose connections to big-city crime--is crisp and convoluted (if not particularly novel), which provides Selleck with enough action and drama to please his longtime fans. William Devane and Gary Basaraba (Boomtown) are among the guest stars, while Viola Davis, Vito Rezza, and Kohl Sudduth return from Stone Cold as Selleck's police officers. Selleck also contributed to the script and co-produced along with director Robert Harmon, who helmed the other Stone films. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Gritty Imperfection
Tom Selleck excells at showing this very human, but tough cop, who has relocated from LA to the small town of Paridise MA. It's a second chance on his new life, while dealing with his own flaws and struggles. Robert B. Parker's character jumps from the novels as good as "Spenser for Hire" was in the 80's. Jesse Stone is todays man always trying to get better while doing the right things along the way. Four of these movies are available and a fifth is in production.
Rating: - Jesse Stone - Death in Paradise
Good movie, very true to Robert Parker's books. Tom Selleck is perfect as Robert Parker's Jesse Stone. I have purchased the whole collection.
Rating:  - Selleck a great fit
Tom Selleck is perfect for the role of Jesse Stone. I always prefer a book to a movie and this is no exception. The Robert B. Parker series featuring Jesse Stone is just great. But this movie does a fine job of capturing the essence of the story. There are some major changes, but they do not detract from the enjoyment of this movie. (Unlike "Sea Changes" which, unfortunately, bears little or no resemblance to the book.) I would recommend this movie very highly, but if you haven't read the books, ... Read More
Rating: - Flawless
Tom Selleck was born to play this character. His delivery is flawless! I hope he continues to produce these gems for quite some time to come. The setting and supporting cast members are wonderful. And if the hold list at the libary is any indication (I'm number 36 in line and their are 15 copies!) I'm not the only one who loves this series. I plan on buying all three DVDs for my collection as well. Thank you Mr. Selleck for your wonderful work here.
Rating: - Tom Selleck at his best...
The second of a series we recently acquired, Death in Paradise is a great find because Tom Selleck is one of our favorite actors and we own the entire Magnum PI collection. In this series a more mature but still incredibly handsome Tom Selleck plays the character of the Chief of Police of a small New England town called Paradise, Massachusetts.
Jesse Stone is a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left life in the big city and is now underemployed, but still doing service to the community, ... Read More
