JESSE STONE: DEATH IN PARADISE (2006)

Another day, another murder in the town of Paradise.  This time it's the icky remains of a teenage girl that washed ashore.  Selleck and his people find some clues, but something just ain't right, so...it's up to Selleck to figure it out!  While uncovering information about the mysterious corpse there's a side story about a battered wife and her abusive husband, some poor parenting, Selleck going into therapy, a local gangster up to no good and new woman in Selleck's life.

Overall, DEATH IN PARADISE is a good film, but I really wish that the writing was stronger, the plot was darker and the script dug deeper into the characters.  Also, I'm really getting tired of Selleck's ex-wife calling him all the time.  Go away!  Still, it's worth a watch for fans of murder mysteries.
