I kind of struggled with how many stars I wanted to give this one. For approximately the first two-thirds of the book, I loved it and thought for sure I was going to give it four stars when I was done.

As it stands now, though, I'm leaning more toward three and a half stars. However, since I can't use half-stars here, I'll round it up to four stars.

Without giving away any major plot points here, some things happened toward the end of the book that I wasn't too crazy about. One of the major characters in the story went through some very big changes that seemed a little unbelievable to me at times. Unfortunately, those things took away from my overall enjoyment of the book.

Having said that, I still liked 'Buried Secrets' quite a bit. I was a big fan of the majority of the early Jesse Stone novels written by Robert B. Parker. However, I'd read just two other books in the series that were written by other authors after Parker's death in 2010. Those books were fine enough but they didn't knock me out.

Despite the issues I mentioned above that I have with 'Buried Secrets,' I still think the author, Christopher Farnsworth, did a very good job on the book. He reminded me of how much I used to love reading about the adventures of Jesse Stone, his co-workers, and his friends. I think the author very much captured the personalities that Robert B. Parker gave those characters many years ago.

Although I didn't completely love 'Buried Secrets' quite as much as I wanted to, I still enjoyed it a lot. I hope that Christopher Farnsworth continues writing books in the Jesse Stone series. I would definitely read more of them by him.

NOTE: I received an advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher.

The latest installment in the long running Jesse Stone series was written by a new author carrying on Robert B. Parker's legacy, Christopher Farnsworth, and Christopher does a capable job of capturing the spirit of Parker's Stone character. The plot concerns a murder mystery in Paradise, along with a troublesome new addition to the Paradise PD. All the major players make an appearance, and while I found the story somewhat sluggish towards the middle, it definitely picks up from there right thru to the end. A relatively easy and enjoyable read.

This novel is the latest installment in the Jesse Stone series. Having read the previous few books, I found this addition particularly enjoyable. While the story didn't offer many twists, the smooth flow of the narrative and the depth of character development were highlights for me. I'm delighted that this series is continuing, as it remains a satisfying read for fans of Jesse Stone.

Robert B. Parker's Buried Secrets by Christopher Farnsworth is a great Jesse Stone mystery. The case is intriguing and readers get a deeper look into Jesse's feelings.

Robert B Parker was a very prolific author with several fan favorite series to his credit. When he died in 2010, fans had divided opinions on how to carry on his legacy. The RB Parker brand is in capable hands with Christpher Farnsworth. As the author of BURIED SECRETS, he has given life to the Jesse Stone character we met in NIGHT PASSAGE in 1997, continuing the character developed by Parker.
Behind the ritzy fronts of Paradise, there is another section of town that tourists don't see. Sheriff Stone receives a welfare check call on his way home after a long day. What he finds will lead the PPD into the middle of a mob war. At the same time, the PPD is still struggling to add deputies that fit in with the rest of the team. The new probie stirs up the rest of the team. Jessie will have to dig deep into the secrets some one doesn't want found.

I am leaving a partial review as I was reading Robert B. Parker's Buried Secrets on my IPad when I unknowingly and not sure how somehow lost it. I have always read from NetGalley Shelf, however I was apparently reading from the NG Reader. I apologize, however i am comfortable subitting this review based on the more than 1/2 I read- 27 chapters. Although don't know how the novel ends, I know I was thoroughly enjoying it. Buried Secrets is a Jesse Stone novel by Christopher Farnsworth. Jesse and his team are investigating the death of a recluse and hoarder named Phil Burton. While going through his home they find over 60 photos of dead men and women and approximately two million dollars in cash. As you can imagine Jesse and his team had their hands more than full investigating Phil's life and how he came into possession of the photos and money. Interestingly they didn't find any weapons in the house. The book was also exploring Jesse's relationship with former cop Dix, now his psychiatrist. Jesse felt vulnerable with all of the uncertainties associated with the case as well as dealing with a new hire not liked well by the team or some of the community. After winning the battle of alcoholism, Jesse was struggling- he wanted to drink. Buried Secrets was an intriguing, fast-paced well developed novel. Although I was only able to finish 1/2 of it, I feel confident recommending it. Thank you to NetGalley, G. P. Putnam's Sons and Christopher Farnsworth for the opportunity to read an ARC of Buried Secrets, released on February 4, 2025. My review reflects my honest opinion. 4 stars.

Robert B Parker’s Jesse Stone has come alive again with the excellent writing of Christopher Farnsworth’s “Buried Secrets.”
Finding an old man dead sitting on some old photos and $2M dollars, literally, is not something Jesse expected to find in his town. But why not? After all it is Paradise.
But Jesse knew this couldn’t be good for a lot of reasons. Not only does he have to contend with gangsters when the mafia shows up wanting to shut down the evidence, but he also has a new cop on staff that likes to play by his own rules.
I loved being back in Paradise and look forward to reading more of Jesse Stone.
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Group/Putnam for the early copy and this is my honest review.

In ROBERT B. PARKER’S BURIED SECRETS, written by Christopher Farnsworth, Matthew Peebles drives 4 hours from New York to Paradise to check on his friend, Phil Burton, who hasn’t been answering his phone. At Matthew’s insistence, the police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, Jesse Stone, enters Phil’s home and finds Phil dead. Matthew is gone by the time Jesse Stone exits Phil’s house. How and why did Phil die? Where is Matthew, and why does he leave the house? I want to follow Chief Stone’s investigation.

I picture Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone because I saw a couple of the Jesse Stone movies before reading any of the books in this series written by Robert Parker. Jesse is an interesting character and draws the reader into his world. I like that the death occurs at the beginning of the book (at the end of the first chapter). The plot is good but the characters, including Jesse Stone, Molly, and Suit, make this a memorable read. I look forward to reading future books in the Jesse Stone series. Thank you, PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and NetGalley, for the chance to read and review an advance reader copy of ROBERT B. PARKER’S BURIED SECRETS.

Jesse Stone is in a horrible mood - and he can't quite put his finger on why. He's just hired a new officer, Derek Tate, who sometimes reminds him of himself - a little rough around the edges. Jesse is called to do a welfare check by an out of town guest. He stops by the man's home - and it's a disaster outside, and demonstrates he's a hoarder inside. In addition, the man's dead body is found on his couch - resting on nearly two million dollars. It's all hands on deck to sort through if this was a murder or natural causes -- and two million dollars has the town elders staking claims. It's a lot for Jesse to process - along with the fact that Daisy has closed her doors to any police officer from Paradise, due to a dust up with Jesse over his new officer. Molly and Suit provide some of the best supporting lines - and Dix is back to help Jesse sort through his bad mood. Reading this book was like a walk visiting old friends - I'm so grateful Mr. Parker's estate has kept these beloved characters around. This is an absolutely wonderful book! My thanks to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for an advanced reader of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

WHAT'S BURIED SECRETS ABOUT?
Jesse is called to make a welfare check on an elderly Paradise resident (no one he knows) and finds the worst outcome—they are weeks too late for this check. Also, the man was a hoarder, and it's near impossible to navigate through his home to his body without disturbing some of his stacks of...whatever it was that he'd accumulated.

When one box of photos is dislodged, Jesse finds several photos of murder victims. Crime Scene techs soon find $2 million in cash stashed in the house. Either one of these finds would send Jesse's "coply intuition" to sound alarm bills—the two together? He knows that they stumbled onto something bad—and worse is on the way to Paradise if they can't wrap up this case soon.

THE A STORY AND JESSE
(not that most of the cast of characters aren't involved in this storyline)

Something about this case sets Jesse off. Something is eating him in ways that he's unprepared for, and he gets a little on edge and grumpy (at least to those on the outside). The bottle is calling to him in a way it hasn't for a while. The voice is loud and tempting. There's at least once that he goes looking for a bottle that thankfully isn't there anymore.

The way this—and the related issues it brings up—work themselves out through this novel shows just how far Jesse has come since he first came to Paradise—or even since he stopped drinking in earnest. But that battle isn't over.

The rest of the PPD is involved in this storyline, but this is Jesse's focus throughout the novel—it's also where everything that Jesse goes through emotionally/psychologically is rooted. As such, I've found that I can't keep talking about this without telling you too much. So let's move on to:

THE B STORY AND EVERYONE ELSE
The day that this body is found is also the first day for a new officer for the PPD. He'd spent some time on patrol in a major city, and then a smaller city before this relocating. He tells Jesse that he wanted to be in a town like Paradise, where he could do some good.

There's an incident or two—you could see them as first-day on-the-job eagerness, a training issue, or something worse. Before you know it, people in Paradise (and in the PPD) are divided over this one officer. Jesse is too caught up in this case, the city politics, and other things to really dig into things. Some others in the department aren't so sure about him. Others are willing to give him a chance or three. Essentially, Jesse is willing to let things shake out on their own—at least until he's able to close the murder.

He might not get that chance. Making this call is arguably Jesse's biggest mistake in the novel.

In addition to the story of this officer, Farnsworth is able to bring in some discussion of what it means to be a police officer in the 21st Century USA. What does it look like, what kind of people should wear the badge? What kind of equipment should police departments have? How can people who have a problem with the police in their area safely do? There's a related scene that touches on public protest and social media/legacy media fanning the flames.

In many—most—ways, this story is not the main focus of the book—but it's so close that it might as well be. And as much as I enjoyed The A Story, this is the one that hooked me the deepest. Farnsworth did the franchise proud with it, too.

FARNSWORTH AT THE HELM
Poor Jesse Stone, this is his fourth author since Parker's death. Just for that reason alone, I hope Farnsworth sticks around for a while. He and his readers need some continuity. Once you figure in what a bang-up job that Farnsworth did, I can underscore that hope a couple of times.

Unlike just about every other (I think every other, but let's throw some wiggle room into this), Farnsworth didn't give us a lot of trivia from Parker's books to establish his bona fides. There were some references, but they were the same kind that Parker himself made. Farnsworth showed us his credentials in the way he wrote these characters, this community, and the story.

I was a little apprehensive about him—I read at least the first two of his Nathaniel Cade books—maybe all three, but nothing since. There was something about whichever Cade book was my last that didn't leave me eager to try him again. Don't ask me what it was—it's been over a decade. I'm glad my loyalty to the series won out over my vague sense of apprehension (it wasn't a close competition). He nailed it.

The one item that I'm most happy about is that with one line of dialogue, Farnsworth expanded on—added depth to—Dix. Did we need this for Dix? But I love that we got it. Also...it was a great way to give that gift to us.

BTS QUESTION
I know there have been conversations between some of the Parker-verse authors about moves they were going to make with certain characters and whatnot—I can't remember the details, but I heard in one or two interviews that Atkins or Coleman had to make an adjustment to one book because of something the other did (I'm being very vague because I don't remember too much and I'm too lazy to do the homework). So I'm sure that Farnsworth and Lupica had a conversation about this book and the events of Hot Property.

What I want to know is how did Hot Property impact this novel? Did Farnsworth have Rita's scenes in this book completed and added a couple of lines to reflect it? Did he have something else in mind for those scenes and revised them to take advantage of Lupica's latest? Just what kind of collaboration happened?

Does this impact my appreciation for either book? Nah. But I'm certainly curious.

SO, WHAT DID I THINK ABOUT BURIED SECRETS?
At each step along the way, I kept thinking of other things I wanted to say about this one—and at book 22 of a series (no matter how many authors have contributed), that's saying something. I've done my best to limit myself to the bigger matters, but I think I could add at least another 5 paragraphs without breaking a sweat (and they'd likely lead to others).

When Coleman got Jesse into AA, I saw one fan complain about him turning Jesse into "another whining Twelve Step wuss" (that's very close to it). This seemed like an odd take, as most of Parker's work (since 1974's God Save the Child) has celebrated people getting help via therapy or some other means to improve—even save—their lives. I'm afraid that some of what this book does is going to elicit similar reactions from that fan and many others. I hope that the publisher, the Parker Estate, and Farnsworth ignore all that. I don't see anything here that doesn't fit in Parker's worldview (or at least the worldview of all of his fiction).

The Paradise Police Department—particularly the officers we've spent time with since Night Passage—got to shine as they ought to. Sure, it's Jesse's series, but Molly, Suit, Peter, Gabe, and the others are more than just cardboard cutouts in the background (obviously we don't know as much about Peter and Gabe as we do some others). The more the various personnel get to contribute, the more the books feel like it's about a Police Chief—not some rogue lawman. I'm glad Farnsworth did that.

Buried Secrets was satisfying on every level that I can think of. It's the best Jesse Stone novel in years (with all due respect to Mr. Lupica), specifically since The Hangman's Sonnet or Colorblind (now that I've mentioned those two books in particular, I could probably have written a post just about the ways that Buried Secrets parallels major elements of those, something I hadn't thought of until now). It contains a good mystery, some strong social commentary, some great character moments, a bunch of characters on the other side of the law that you just have to meet, some solid action, and most of all, time with characters that fans have been spending time with for decades.

I strongly recommend this.

Disclaimer: I received this eARC from PENGUIN GROUP Putnam via NetGalley in exchange for this post which contains my honest opinion—thanks to both for this.

It’s always a treat to revisit Paradise through the pages of a Jesse Stone novel. Robert B. Parker’s Buried Secrets by Christopher Farnsworth, stays true the original characters while stirring up new conflicts, a thrilling crime, and more than a few moments of laughter. If you've missed Jesse's relentless approach to solving crimes and his complicated relationships with the people around him, this book will absolutely deliver. That said, one character's over-the-top antics might just make you roll your eyes (and not in a good way). But we’ll get to that later.

What Worked

Mollie and Jesse’s constant banter and the team’s bickering about who’s great idea it was really cracked me up. The central mystery surrounding the hoarder’s house and the money was well-executed, keeping me intrigued until the final reveal. And, of course, Farnsworth’s ability to weave humor into an otherwise serious narrative was spot-on. The book doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a big part of its charm.
What Didn’t Work

Daisy. I rarely find myself actively disliking a character in these books, but her extreme reaction to Tate’s presence and her subsequent campaign against Jesse left a bad taste. I don’t know if she actively organized the protest outside her restaurant, but it does not seem like small-town America to me.

Tate was a terrible character; I thought he was far too extreme. Maybe, over the time of a few books, the author could have made him more and more corrupt. I just do not buy that someone with severe anger and intent to harm people would ever get through the rigorous police academy. Even his previous chief gave him a glowing recommendation. Just sent him on his way to another police department. What is that about?
Final Thoughts

Robert B. Parker’s Buried Secrets is a solid addition to the Jesse Stone series. It brings back the action, humor, and small-town intrigue that fans know and love while introducing some new dynamics to keep things fresh. Farnsworth does justice to the world Parker created, and it’s clear that he understands what makes Jesse Stone and his crew tick. Despite the missteps with Daisy’s character, the book delivers an enjoyable mystery with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

If you’re a longtime fan, you’ll feel right at home in Paradise. And if you’re new to the series, this book has enough humor and heart to make you want to explore Jesse’s earlier adventures.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself muttering, “Really, Daisy?” a few times along the way.

Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam | G.P. Putnam's Sons for the Advanced Readers Copy. All of the opinions expressed are proudly my own.

This is a wonderful book. ROBERT B PARKER’S BURIED SECRETS written by Christopher Farnsworth feels as though it was written by Parker himself. As #22 in the Jesse Stone series, it seamlessly fits right in with the early books written by Parker. Our protagonist, Jesse Stone, is a complex character with split-second timing in the face of danger and a weakness for pretty ladies and donuts. In earlier books, he was hobbled by his long-standing alcoholism and attachment to an ex-wife who took advantage of him. In this book, he has kept some of his demons at bay, although he wonders if he can keep them there. As police chief, he is drawn to rescuing anyone possible in his small town of Paradise. Unfortunately, he can get distracted and bad things begin to happen around town. A dead man is found sleeping on a pile of cash with a mountain of junk around him. What went on with this hoarder? Reading the book is a complete joy. I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Robert B. Parker's Buried Secrets is the twenty-second book in the Jesse Stone series. This one is by Christopher Farnsworth. I was curious to see if this new story would be written in the style I have come to love and was not disappointed. The writing is wonderful and lives up to the same descriptions I have in my head as I read it.

Deputy Chief Molly Crane calls Jesse to have him make a welfare check on an elderly resident. Because they are shorthanded Jesse makes the call only to find a dead body. The man has been dead for quite some time and the house is filled to the brim with stuff. A box falls only to disclose pictures of murders of many people. This will bring a few disreputable characters to town to clean up the loose ends now being revealed.

Meanwhile, Jesse feels pressured to hire Derek Tate, who has his own ideas about how the police should operate. This will cause Jesse a few problems with the town.

I really enjoyed this new story. It is a good fit in the series and look forward to reading many more in the series.

Robert B. Parker’s Buried Secrets: A Jesse Stone Novel by Christopher Farnsworth is a breath of fresh air. This book in the long running Jesse Stone series reads like a Jesse Stone novel. One forgets that this is not done by Robert B. Parker and that is a very good thing.

The Paradise Police Department is very short handed. The normal situation has been made worse by the fact that three officers are out with Covid. Things are so bad that Molly Crane is working dispatch and Chief Jesse Stone has been doing patrols. After a long day, Jesse is looking forward to going home. Instead, after some back and forth with Molly, Jesse heads to an address for a welfare check.

On arrival, he finds a young man by the name of Matthew Peebles. He is a bit agitated and explains that the man inside the aging house is a friend of his parents. His mane is Phil Burton. Mr. Peebles says he and Phil Burton talk by phone on a semi regular basis and that he comes out from the city (New York City) now and then to visit and check on him as he is elderly. He says that he has not heard from him in awhile and is worried.

Jesse manages to eventually get inside the house through the back as a sliding glass door is partially open. It is very clear as he steps inside that Mr. Burton is a very serious hoarder. At least, he was. He clearly been dead on his couch for quite some time.

Jesse makes his way back out of the house with the intention of breaking the news to Mr. Peebles and alerting the coroner, having the house cleared out, and more. Once he gets to the front of the house, he realizes that Mr. Peebles is long gone.

Soon Luther “Suitcase” Simpson arrives and he and Jesse go back into the house. Everything in the massive piles of stuff in the house is very unstable. Simpson accidentally brushes a tower of carboard boxes and the tower collapses and falls spilling some of the boxes open. Other stuff slides around them making walking very difficult. When Simpson regains his footing, Jesse spots a polaroid picture on the floor.

It, and many more that can now be seen, showcase what appears to be dead people at various locations and conditions. Whatever Phil Burton was involved with, it was bad.

As that investigation gets underway, Jesse also welcomes the newest officer, Derek Tate, to the force. This was a hire forced on him by the Mayor, Gary Armistead, and Jesse isn’t totally comfortable with him. Due to the workload in recent days, Jesse has not been able to do a deep dive into him as much as he would with any new officer. On paper he looks good. But, there was an incident when he worked in Philadelphia.

Tate owned up to it, expressed some remorse, and claims to want a fresh start in Paradise, Massachusetts. Paradise certainly was a fresh start for Jesse many years ago and it could be for Tate as well. So, he brings him onboard and puts him out on patrol unsupervised as Tate has experience. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that things are not going to go well.

What follows is a fast moving read as Jesse deals with the Burton investigation, Tate and his version of police work, and other personal and professional issues. The author does a masterful job of pulling the reader along at a fast clip in the Jesse Stone world. It has been some time since an author could make the characters in the series come alive in the right voice and Mr. Farnsworth definitely pulls that off in Robert B. Parker’s Buried Secrets: A Jesse Stone Novel.

Strongly Recommended.

hristopher Farnsworth continues the Jesse Stone crime series with the twenty-second book: Robert B. Parker’s Buried Secrets. Full of secrets, criminals, a dead body, and some suspense, this novel kept me engaged throughout. Paradise, Massachusetts Police Chief Jesse Stone is asked to do a welfare check while he is on his way home after a long shift. Inside a house filled with junk, boxes, and more, Jesse finds Phil Burton dead. Surrounding him are photos of murder victims and underneath the body lies two million dollars. When old-style criminals and paid guns-for-hire enter the picture, can Jesse and his team solve the case before another person dies?

Jesse has a drive to make things right and do the right thing. He’s considered somewhat old-school, has a history of alcoholism and bad relationships. He tries to save people and punishes himself when he doesn’t succeed. While he needs to let people into his life and open himself up, he has trouble doing this. He is also experiencing anger management issues which are causing him trouble with his friends, co-workers, and others. This deeper dive into Jesse’s flaws and strengths added depth to his character and made him more dynamic. It was also good to catch up with several familiar characters.

The first chapter immediately pulls readers into the story. This riveting mystery captured the characters and made them come to life within the boundaries of a deeply involved plot. The storyline includes both personal and professional challenges for Jesse as well as an intriguing mystery. Gripping scenes, personal struggles, onboarding a new deputy, and fractured friendships add layers of interest to the plot. There are several twists and turns as the story gains momentum and continues to an astonishing conclusion. The internal dialogues and struggles deepen the conflict and quickly pulled this reader into the inner world of the characters. The author also did a good job of capturing the feel of the small town.

Overall, this engrossing and entertaining novel is an excellent addition to the series. Featuring a strong, flawed, and capable protagonist, excellent pacing, and a solid plot, the story kept me turning the pages rapidly. Although this is the twenty-second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone novel. However, readers will gain a better appreciation for Jesse and the recurring secondary characters by reading earlier books in the series. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

PENGUIN GROUP Putnam – G.P. Putnam’s Sons and Christopher Farnsworth provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. Publication date is currently set for February 04, 2025. This review was originally posted at Mystery and Suspense Magazine.

This is, I believe, the author's first go-round at continuing the legacy of the late Robert B. Parker's popular series featuring Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone - a complex character if there ever was one. And although Jesse's darker moment return to the forefront more often in this one, it definitely has the Parker "vibe." For those who keep count, this is the 22nd installment in the series.

It begins as Deputy Chief Molly Crane, Jesse's friend and protector and no-nonsense advice-giver, asks Jesse to make a welfare check on an elderly resident. The department is short on staff for several reasons, so Jesse draws the short straw. What he finds is a dead body - but only by following the smell; the man was a serious horder, and wading through his collection is a daunting task. On the way in, he met a "concerned friend," Matthew Peebles - who mysteriously disappeared by the time Jesse came back out.

Jesse and his deputy, Luther "Suitcase" Simpson, find a ton of revealing photos (by accident), suggesting that the dead man may not have been an upstanding citizen. On top of that (more accurately, closer to the bottom), they find a cool $2 million in cash. It's a puzzlement, at least till the department's discoveries become known - attracting unwanted attention from hitmen for hire who really don't want the world to learn their secrets. They'll do whatever it takes to put the kabosh on those photos and get their hands on the money - and since Jesse and his department are standing in their way, well...

On top of all that, Jesse must deal with a new hire named Derek Tate, a total jerk who thinks his police officer status gives him the right to bully anyone who crosses his path. This storyline was to me a bit of a stretch, in fact; even though Jesse may feel sorry for him and believe in second chances, the guy is way off the rails and there's no way he'd have lasted more than a day and a half under the Jesse I've come to know and love.

The hitmen, though, do pose a serious risk, and even Jesse is concerned - as he should be. Unbeknownst to Jesse, a couple of them have decided to hold hands long enough to take Jesse out, destroy the evidence and grab the money. Will they be successful, or do Jesse and his team have some counter-measures up their sleeves? Well, you'll just have to read it to find out. I sure did - taking the last handful of chapters to bed with me to finish because I couldn't wait till morning. Good one - and I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for providing me the opportunity to read and review a pre-release copy.

Thank you to the author that wrote this book. He did a good job of representing Jesse and our favorite characters. Hopefully authors will keep this series going. It is always a good story with great characters. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Kudos to Christopher Farnsworth for continuing the Jesse Stone series in the great tradition of Robert B. Parker. Right on track in the same fun, full of excitement and energy vein as before. A very entertaining read!

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Another great addition to this series. I’m so glad that after his passing so many great authors have been able to continue this in the same spirit. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this early copy for read and review

Thanks so much for continuing Jesse Stone and friends
I love them and was so worried they were lost forever
Looking forward to the next
