Maybe just 2.5*... I didn't much care for the way the book ended with (view spoiler)[a sense of ambiguity over Arrington's guilt. If it had stopped with the scene outside the courthouse, I would have been much happier! (hide spoiler)]. Also, I found Stone's ability to attract all the women with whom he came into contact (even when he wasn't trying) a bit too much; it seemed more like a male fantasy rather than real life.The solving of who killed Arrington's husband, Vance Calder, was a little sl...
Another Stone Barrington novel by Stuart Woods; I'm working my way through but there are so many I probably won't finish. The story was good but the emphasis on sex and money is getting tiresome. I'm no prude, but I'm not looking for bodice ripping mysteries, either. I've only read the first 6 of the series (over 50) but so far if you like one you'll like more, at least until you tire of them. I'm going to slow down my pace with these and see how it goes. 3.5 rounded up to 4.
This was my first, and likely my last, Stuart Woods / Stone Barrington novel. It is the 6th in the Stone Barrington series. Barrington is an ex NYC PD detective now criminal lawyer. It reads like a 1940s crime movie. Barrington is involved intimately with at least 4 women through this book. The one he professes to love has appeared earlier in the series. The plot line involves a wedding in Italy, a Catholic Cardinal, a mafia don and two of his daughters, one of which is married to a current NYPD...
This was as re-read, or I should say re-listen. I had forgotten how formulaic and predictable the Stone Barrington character could be. The lost lover, the marriage on the rebound, the "amazing" love making with several other beautiful women, the "reunion" with the lost lover ... Everyone was incredibly, money-no-object wealthy, mega private jets, Mercedes Benz top-of-the-range convertibles, whole-floor hotel suites - and I'm still unsure how Stone makes his money. Throw in a handful of violence,...
Good series! interesting and a fast-paced storyline,also well written (paperback!)
I mostly liked this one, until the end. There's a whole lotta naked in this book, but not much resolution. I hope some of these things are addressed in the next book. It's weird that Stone lives in NY but it seems not many of these books actually takes place in NY. I think with each book I hate Arrington more. I hope she doesn't continue to be in Stone's life through the entire series. I'd love to see what would happen if Stone met Jack Reacher. Since I am an editor, I am very nitpicky when I re...
It was an easy read and the mystery part was okay. But the author added in some nonsensical sex. The lead character, Stone, is called from his Italian wedding because a huge movie star (lots of paparazzi) has been murdered. Within a couple days of the murder, Stone is having sex with the star's personal assistant as well as the star's widow, who happens to the only suspect and Stone's ex. Every woman he meets, apart from the maid, is really hot for him and wears either nothing or a bikini. I thi...
I enjoyed this book so do be off put by the 3 stars. I liked it enough that I’m reading the book after it right now. Movie star is killed who just happens to be Stones old live Arrington. Of course the wife first suspect so Stone to the rescue! Who really did it? Or did she.When I tell you my 3 star reason and not higher I don’t want you to think I’m an anti sexual prude. I just want anyone who reads my review before reading this series to know that these books are full of sex. Not just hey he h...
If you have read one book in this series you have read this one. I think it’s time to put this series on the. Back burner for now, but then again you never know they are easy reads.
Another Stone Barrington. This entry is ostensibly centered on the question of who killed a famous movie star who married Stone's ex-girlfriend. In fact what it's about is following Stone as he moves from bed to bed with various (beautiful, of course) women while he is helping to defend his ex(?)-girlfriend who is the obvious suspect in the murder. With the amount of time he uses in various beds, it is amazing he has any time at all to help with the defense. Complicating matters is the fact that...
Somehow, I think Stuart Woods let his fantasy life run rampant throughout this book. I'd quit now, but I'm curious as to which direction the next book will take.
I love this series but this book was awful. Stone has always been an enthusiastic lady’s man, but here he turns into a big throbbing dick that bones every - and I mean every - female around. Whatever happened to his desperate love for Arrington? And the women are mindless nymphos who constants throw their naked bodies at him. Arrington was the biggest disappointment, going from the intelligent capable professional journalist in the earlier books to an incredibly stupid sex fiend who acts reckles...
All of the Stuart Woods books have provided me with a great deal of page-turning entertainment. Each book obviously features Stone and has a few good characters like Dino to add more drama. This was no different and it weaves in a lot of New York style action. If you are a fan of that, and yes I am. I have found each book more interesting than the last. You MUST read them in order to keep up with Stone, Dino, Arrington and the drama. Thoroughly enjoyable with many plots about places and people I...
