"If you've read one Stuart Woods "Stone Barrington" novels, you've pretty much read them all. But that's not a bad thing! They're all very entertaining, very funny, and throroughly enjoyable. Even if they're all pretty much the same."
— Perry (4 out of 5 stars)
" This was not one of my favorite Stone Barrington novels. Woods went a little overboard with Stone in this one. His multiple 'threesomes' and reinstatement and promotion on the force was a little much. "
— Matt, 2/19/2014" Another fun read with Stone Barrington "
— Leslie, 2/16/2014" You gotta love Stone and his av-ante guard lifestyle "
— Kerrie, 2/14/2014" Threesomes with hot girls! Oh, and some art, drugs, gunfire, whatnot. "
— doug, 1/28/2014" Enjoyable and typically forgetable "
— Hank, 1/22/2014" Great book per usual with Stuart Woods. "
— Joanne, 1/17/2014" The the Stone Barrington series - and a quick easy read "
— Lin, 1/8/2014" Woods worst...Nothing but Sex...Sex...Sex..Mostly in Elains..ugh.. "
— Dino, 12/29/2013" Fast moving, lots of gratuitous sex, predictable Stone Barrington novel. Fun. "
— Angela, 12/25/2013" Unbelievable plot lines, ditto characters. Gratuitous sex doesn't improve a poor excuse for a mystery. Frankly, Stone B., who gives a damn. Pro: a quick read. "
— Martha, 12/23/2013" This was probably not my favorite Stuart Woods book, but it is still a good read......... "
— Joy, 12/20/2013" he's losing his touch! "
— Karen, 12/14/2013" A quick and easy read. I'm surprised that the author continues to throw his main character into bed with every woman he comes in contact with. There was an ironic twist at the end. I was surprised to learn recently that the restaurant "Elaine's" and the owner Elaine really do exist in New York. "
— Becky, 12/6/2013" A little heavier on the sex than other Barrington novels, wasn't really that necessary. "
— Bibli-ophelia, 12/3/2013" This book just went from bad to worse as far as graphic content. Stopped halfway through because it was too much. "
— Jenni, 11/14/2013" Ah the life of a sophisticated New York lawyer eating well night after night at Elaines. Not to mention all the beautiful women that cling to him like dust to a mop. "
— DWGibb, 8/27/2013" Always enjoy when Stone and Dino are working a case. "
— Vicky, 5/6/2013" Gotta love Stone :) "
— Mary, 2/11/2013" In this book Stone is too much the playboy for my liking. This story seemed to be mainly about his encounters with women with a little bit of a case thrown in as an afterthought. "
— Anna, 1/8/2013" good story and thriller, but is it just me or is Stone Barrington getting more and more promiscuous--3 different and new women in this one, including a threesome, and the return of his dangerously crazy ex Dolce! "
— Amy, 1/1/2013" Stone Barrington has outdone himself in this novel. "
— Burt, 11/16/2012" Just the right level of light reading I was looking for after reading some very heavy stuff. "
— Dottie, 4/4/2012" I have read better by Stuart Woods. "
— A, 3/29/2012" I love Stewart Woods - - - Strictly recreational reading! "
— Suellen, 11/27/2011" I guess it kept me reading to find out what was going on, but not much was happening. Stone is a little too smooth--women are throwing themselves at him and fulfilling fantasies he hasn't even dreamed up! "
— Kriscrowe, 8/22/2011" While I liked the premise of the book, this one seemed to focus on Stone's trysts and flings and that a bit away from the book in my mind. "
— Lou, 8/13/2011" Stone Barrington # 17 "
— Eileen, 6/4/2011" Not my favorite Stuart Woods book. I enjoyed his previous work much more. "
— Daleen, 5/23/2011" The the Stone Barrington series - and a quick easy read "
— Lin, 4/5/2011" I think I had already read this... "
— Judy, 3/21/2011" Just the right level of light reading I was looking for after reading some very heavy stuff. "
— Dottie, 3/20/2011" I love anything from Stuart Woods, especially the Stone Barrington books. They are easy reads and look deceptively easy to write. I know they aren't. "
— William, 3/9/2011" I have them all up to this point, didn't like this one. No real plot. "
— Thomas, 2/21/2011" This is totally a guy romance, without the need for "true love". Plenty of excitement and mystery. A quick, fun read; no long-term relationship with this novel! "
— Faye, 2/17/2011" Woods keeps the action going. His writing is terse to the point of telegraphy, but he creates amusing dialog and situations. Quick read. "
— Harry, 2/14/2011" I think Stone is getting a bit too much action with the ladies. Too much of the story was about that, and it took away from the story itself. "
— Marianne, 1/17/2011" Getting formulaic. Nothing changes in the main characters "
