High Profile by Robert B Parker

Jesse Stone, small town chief of police, is at the center of a highly public murder case. Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree. Then another body is found less than a week later. The public (read news reporters) is clamoring for results. Talk about stress at work! Then Jesse's ex-wife, Jenn, arrives at his apartment claiming she is being stalked and needs him to keep her safe. Jesse's understanding (?) lady friend and private eye, Sunny Randall agrees to help him keep Jenn safe and to find out who the stalker is. Jesse and his friend and co-worker Suit keep things on the light side and this is entirely an enjoyable read. I liked it. Sandy P
