"Stuart Woods is a really good storyteller, but I still don't like any of the characters in this series. Of course, not caring if something bad happens to any of the characters isn't all bad. I can enjoy the great plot twists and turns without worrying about what happens to anyone. :) "
— BJ (4 out of 5 stars)
" Too many different characters. It was getting a bit confusing with all the names! "
— Jenn, 12/18/2012" This is a dreadful book, quite terribly written. It's not even amusing trash. "
— Gwendolyn, 10/26/2012" Eh, another thriller. Semi-enjoyable reading, but got a little Miss Marple in the end, with the killer explaining every detail of why they did whatever. Since there were no clues along the way, I suppose she had to do that. Still - annoying. "
— Alicia, 7/14/2011" Hard to put down. Fast moving mystery. Looking forward to reading some of his other books. "
— Paula, 5/20/2011" I loved it! You couldn't have wiped the roguish grin off my face for the last third of this book. "
— Kenny, 1/19/2011" I love what Woods does here. Sure, Barrington stories are kind of campy and very soap opera-ish, but this is a fast read with all the components of a good murder mystery. For even those of us who think we have it all figured out halfway through, we don't. I sure like a challenge. "
— doug, 10/20/2010" I usually love Stuart Woods but I had this one figured out by page 160 so I skipped the end and did not miss much in between. "
— Janet, 10/9/2010" A pretty good read. This is my first book by Stuart Woods. Its a pretty fast-paced, if somewhat formulaic book. The characters were all pretty well rounded, and Woods kept the storyline moving well. I give it a 3 1/2 star, down graded to 3. "
— Garlan, 8/21/2010" Stone Barrington, while waiting to meet his girlfriend in St. Marks, agrees to defend a woman accused of murdering her husband. <br/> "
— Chuck, 6/25/2010" Third in the Stone Barrington series. . . . I was a little surprised at the end of this book. "
— Denise, 6/22/2010" A prime example of whey not to take the advice of scrunchie wearing librarians! "
— Jessica, 3/1/2010" Oh, this was fun! <br/> <br/>Murder mystery set on an island with a very different legal system. Corruption and bribery? Yes. Someone gets caught, hang 'em! <br/> <br/>I loved this! Best Stuart Woods book yet. "
— Cheryl, 11/21/2009" Excellent; continuing character: Stone Barrington; woman sails yacht to island without the husband she left port with; is it natural causes or murder? <br/> "
— Joe, 8/25/2009" while vacationing in the Caribbean, Stone gets involved when a ship sails in with a woman alone aboard. But she had a husband when she started. "
— Randy, 7/22/2009" Went down to St. Martens and his girlfriend Arrington was supposed to go with him, but ended up not. During the time he was there, he defended a woman charged with killing her husband out at sea. "
— Anne, 5/30/2009" A good, fast-paced thriller, but not really a page-turner. I was able to put it down. I will probably give the author another try, though, as he has the makings of a story teller of the caliber I really enjoy. This book just wasn't it. "
— Heather, 4/9/2009" Stone Barrington book. I'm not sure I'd hire this guy as my lawyer; he's easily distracted and can do some pretty dumb things. Read before <em>Cold Paradise</em> if you don't want to know how things turn out. "
— KarenC, 3/16/2009" OK-- a popcorn novel, but it was nice to read something light during Christmas break. "
