Jesse Stone: Death In Paradise
Selleck plays the role of Jesse Stone, a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left California and his ex-wife to become the police chief in a small New England town. Among his many character flaws are his struggles with a drinking problem and lingering feelings for his ex-wife. Jesse Stone: Night Passage is a prequel to 2005?s Stone Cold. Co-starring Stephanie March (TV?s "Law & Order: SVU") and Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects), the telefilm depicts Jesse Stone?s (Selleck) first days as Paradise, Massachusetts? Chief of Police. He must immediately find the killer of his predecessor, plus investigate a domestic violence situation involving the city?s resident hothead (Baldwin), whose ties to a local bank manager expose a money-laundering scheme.

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

Jesse Stone: Death In Paradise Reviews
This is one of those times when the movie is better than the book. I read Stone Cold initially and didn't care for it, saw it on TV and then bought all the other Jesse Stone DVD's. Can't wait for the two that are "in the can".
Tom Selleck has really made this a wonderful character. I only wish Viola Davis would have continued her role as Molly. The other supporting cast members are really well casted and acted.
This product was very good. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my Dad. He really loves all of these movies and this is one that he did not have in his collection. He told me that the dvd itself works just fine.
I have all of the first five that have come out. I have enjoyed watching all of them. And they all have Tom Selleck in them, big plus...
As always Tom is great in this part, I haven't found a bad Jesse Stone.

What MORE can I say?? See my review of NIGHT PASSAGE. Another great adaptation of the book.
