Sons of Spade on THE BITTEREST PILL
Reed Farrel Coleman really managed to make Robert B. Parker’s character Jesse Stone his own, infusing him with a deeper character and managing to make his story less static.

BookReporter on THE BITTEREST PILL
“Reed Farrel Coleman and Jesse Stone remain an excellent fit…. While the plot here is fairly straightforward, and blessedly so, there are enough twists and turns to keep the reader gently off-balance and greatly entertained.”

Writer at Play on COLORBLIND
I am constantly amazed at the writer who can speak in another writer’s voice. Reed Farrel Coleman does this flawlessly. Giving the fans of Robert B. Parker years more of his stories, even though he is gone. I’ve never been one to write spoilers in my reviews. It’s all about the writing for me. The story. The Characters. But I will tell you, there is a huge surprise in Jesse Stone’s story line. I mean HUGE!
