Publisher Description

In Dark Harbor, Maine, Stone Barrington discovers a picturesque town where the shocking deaths of three people have cast a long shadow over this island haven, a locale as mysterious as it is exclusive.

Stone Barrington hasn't heard from his cousin, Dick Stone, in years, though he has fond memories of a teenage summer spent at his house in Maine. But then the CIA's Lance Cabot interrupts an otherwise pleasant meal at Elaine's with the news of Dick's death, apparently by his own hand. It seems that Dick Stone, a quiet family man who doubled as a CIA agent, methodically executed his wife, daughter, and then himself...or did he?

With the help of his ex-partner Dino and his friend Holly Barker, Stone must piece together the elusive facts of his cousin's life and death as a CIA operative. Dark Harbor offers us the perfect mix of sexy intrigue and swift suspense that legions of fans have come to expect from master storyteller Stuart Woods.

"Typical Stone Barrington book. You have to be wealthy to relate to the lifestyle and circle of influence he runs in. I think that this is the biggest departure from reality that this series of books has. The character closed circle set on Islesboro got somewhat tedious. Somehow I don't think most communities are loaded with millionaires and ex-CIA types. The intrigue level did increase tempo to the very end, and there were no super-hero actions to save the day, so the action plot is in line with reality and isn't the driving factor to keeping the reader involved in the book, characters, or suspense level."

    " It was just OK. I figured out who did it before I read it. A couple of things that happened didn't even make any sense to the plot. "

    " The plot was not very deep. I had solved the 'who did it' factor around chapter thirty. The rest of the read was just waiting for the pieces to fall in place. A little bit of a let down in that aspect. However the style was fun as it is a hybrid of police report and novel. Solid characters who pull the book to its finish. "

    " This is the 12th book I 've read by this author. I guess that pretty much explains my rating. I enjoy his main character, Stone Barrington, and it's always a quick read. "

    " This is a suspenseful crime mystery that provides the reader just enough detail to expect a breakthrough after each page turn. The protagonists seemed somewhat stereotypic to me, but this was my first introduction to Woods' regular characters, Stone Barrington and Holly Barker, and maybe they've been developed in more depth in preceding books. I learned of this mystery novel from its month-long stay on the New York Times best seller list in the spring of 2006 "
