Trouble In Paradise

I've never been comfortable with how Parker handled female characters in his Spenser books. Sometimes he surprised me, but looking back, there was never a female character that somehow did not relate to sex. That problem really comes into focus in this book, the second of the Jesse Stone series. Too bad, as the first book in the series was quite good and the main mystery/crime in this one was handled well. Not sure if I'll try another one.
