A Mysterious Review of The Devil Wins by Reed Farrel Coleman. A Jesse Stone Mystery.
Review summary: This is a complex (in a good way) mystery that is made even more so in that it involves two recent murders coupled with two long ago unsolved killings that on the surface have little in common. Overall a solid entry in this series, one that will please existing fans and appeal to new ones reading for the first time. (Click here for text of full review.)

A Jesse Stone Mystery
Putnam (September 2015)
Publisher synopsis: In the wake of a huge storm, three bodies are discovered in the rubble of an abandoned factory building in an industrial part of Paradise known as The Swap. One body, a man's, wrapped in a blue tarp, is only hours old. But found within feet of that body are the skeletal remains of two teenage girls who had gone missing during a Fourth of July celebration twenty-five years earlier. Not only does that crime predate Jesse Stone's arrival in Paradise, but the dead girls were close friends of Jesse's right hand, Officer Molly Crane. And things become even more complicated when one of the dead girls' mothers returns to Paradise to bury her daughter and is promptly murdered. It's up to Police Chief Jesse Stone to pull away the veil of the past to see how all the murders are connected.
