I grew up by the ingenious Jesse Stone series with Tom Selleck in TV on the books curious. Comparing book / movie is interesting because in the book Jesse is significantly younger than in Mr.Selleck TV. But that's the attraction - both stand side by side. And who is loves New England also love this series (Book + Film) ... A not-so-secret tip: the soundtrack is "normal" not to buy the movie, you can with a personal email to the composer Jeff Beal get from it. Highly Recommended for everyone who loves the series / atmosphere!
