Publisher Description

A brand-new page-turning Stone Barrington novel from the perennially entertaining New York Times-bestselling author.

It seems like just another quiet night at Elaine's. Stone Barrington and his former cop partner, Dino, are enjoying some pasta when in walks former client and all around sad sack Herbie Fisher...with a briefcase containing $14 million in cash.

Herbie claims to have won the money on a lucky lotto ticket, but he also says he needs a lawyer-and after a single gunshot breaks the window above his head and sends diners scrambling, Stone and Dino suspect Herbie might need a bodyguard and a private investigator, too.

"I honestly cannot say that Stuart Woods is a better writer than James Patterson, but I enjoy his books more. Or perhaps I just enjoy the Stone Barrington novels. They are easy enjoyable reads and Lucid Intervals was no exception. The books are not complex or heavy on plot. There tend to be a lot of dangling ends in the story, but they move quickly and are not particularly violent. I will also admit that I just like the character of Stone Barrington, not because I would necessarily like him in real life, but because he appreciates a good suit and understands the details of of fit and tailoring and I have a bit of a weakness for a man who likes a good suit and a good bourbon. Even though I certainly understand the appeal of a man who can be both a little polished and rough around the edges, and I am certainly no prude, the women in the novel continue to be mostly vehicles for sex, with very little development rather than their availability to jump into bed and although the sex scenes in this book are not graphic they seem to be increasingly a substitute for plot. Unfortunately the main character, like the book, has slipped into a kind of mid-life hollowness where he is still coasting by on looks and his delusions and pretensions, unaware that the promise of his youth has slipped away and failed to gain substance. I have a couple more of these books. They will be perfectly good for riding on the exercise bike, which I desperately need to resume, and where I prefer mindless entertainment that merely keeps me pedaling and turning the pages."

    " Another routine book by Woods. The plot doesn't hold together, the characters are superficial, and the reading is quick. I don't know why I keep reading him. My memory is that his earlier books were better, so maybe I keep reading him by habit. "

    " This is one of many books of the Stone Barrington series. They all are fast paced, well-written adventure mysteries. Stone spends a lot of time in bed with various women in the different books, but they aren't lurid the they don't make the books unreadable. I recommend any book written by Stuart Woods. You will enjoy it. "

    " Omg what a smarmy, pithy, horribly-written little novel this is. I had to stop reading it, which I almost never do. Terrible. Take this author off your to-read list. I can write better than this - someone hook me up with a publisher! "

    " Partly through this novel, one begins to wonder if Stone Barrington has been played out. He has. Even the good ending does not save the rest of this novel from being too long and predictable. The only surprise is Herbie contributes something positive for a change. 4 of 10 stars "

    " Very easy read, and I actually did not figure out the ending. I can usually determine who was the "who did person" fairly early, but I did not figure it out this time. I read it quicker than I did most of Stuart Woods' books. "
