Great series! gritty in nature which was full of underhanded supporting characters that add their own twist to this storyline with additional intense action..well written (paperback!)

One of my least favorite in this series. This chase for a principled killer, if you will, is full of bungling on behalf of innocents and chasers to the point of annoyance. 3 of 10 stars

What a life Stone Barrington lives.The people that are his right handscertainly keep everything running smoothly.

This is the 9th book in Woods’ Stone Barrington series. And I will say at the outset, one of the better ones I have read (or listened to as these books make good choices for audio books). Stone is hired to prove that the husband of an heiress is guilty of infidelity. He in turn hires the nephew of one of his associates, Herbie Fisher, to obtain evidence, but all goes haywire when Herbie falls through the skylight onto an already dead husband, and his paramour has disappeared without a trace. Sto...

5 Stars. Again Stone Barrington does some lawyering, but spends a great deal more time on entertaining beautiful women, policing with his friend Lieutenant Bacchetti, and enjoying the high life at Elaine's. These addictive episodes could be titled, "In the life of Stone." Bill Eggers, the senior partner at Woodman and Weld always frets about losing any of the firms' rich clients; when Elena Marks worries about her husband's fidelity, Bill asks Stone to get proof. It's dirty work so he hires the

I'm not sure why I keep reading the Stone Barrington books. He ends up in bed with practically every woman he meets within twenty-four hours. It's kind of annoying and really not much to these stories. But I keep reading them; maybe it's for Dino. I much prefer him to Stone.

I’m blowing through this series at break neck rate. This is a fun series that does have nearly everything. Romance sex and murder. Stone is reunited with his female agent from London but she’s in New York chasing a women who is also chasing her! Stone in the middle as always!

I really enjoyed this Stone Barrington story. It was full of suspense and well-drawn characters. Barrington even did some moralizing in the story. Yes, he had his share of bed time, some close calls with Dino Bacchetti and there were many murders. The basic plot involves a professional assassin, Marie-Terese du Bois, who is after the members of a British Intelligence operation that had her parents killed. One of those participants was Carpenter, with whom Barrington is currently sleeping. Marie-...

Our man Stone is at it again. It is quite amazing how he gets himself into these situations involving high-level players, high secrets, murder, etc, from more or less casual acquaintanceships with beautiful and sophisticated women. This book is a case-in-point. He is asked to do a simple catch-the-errant-husband investigation (photos through a skylight), but in the first few pages it turns into high intrigue involving the British Secret Service, the FBI, and, of course, the NYPD. Who would have

This book was given to me to pass along to someone else (uncle bud!) But I started reading it and quite enjoyed it. Action, adventure detective style, fun premise of not a little too murderous. I would read other books by this author and he has many to choose from. I will drop this one off to uncle bud today😃

Handling the less than savory cases for the law firm of Woodman and Weld, Stone Barrington is assigned to look into the philandering of a rich woman’s husband, but the photographer Stone hires literally drops in on the subject of the surveillance, and it looks like the fall killed him. But a simple peep and click turns into a search for an international killer and an intimate assignation with an alluring British spy.This is Stuart Woods doing what Stuart Woods does – writing entertaining stories...

Stone Barrington is the ex-NYPD detective that is now a successful lawyer. He works out of a nice home willed to him by his aunt. He has the best clothes, assignments, and women. He always gets caught up in a mystery and this book is no different. The author continues to entertain with it.

My husband and I listen to audio books when traveling. We are working our way through the Stone Barrington Series by Stuart Woods. So far this year we’ve listened to Dirty Work, Naked Greed, L.A. Dead, Scandalous Behavior, and Dishonorable Intentions. We’ve not listened to them in order, as we’ve previously read some of the books. Now we’re filling in the gaps of the series.They are all great stories of fighting crime, and the good guys almost always win. The only problem I have with them is tha...

The story was great. I love the Stone Barrington novels. I also loved that the assassin was female. The only thing I didn't like was that I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator was absolutely horrible. He made all the women sound like they were 100 years old and all the men were either Italian NYC cops or just sounded ridiculous. Even what he termed as a "Spanish"accent was actually Italian. Worst narrator ever. But the story is good and well written. I suggest reading a paper copy.

Two stars, I think, mainly because I listened to this on audio book. I could not stand the narrator- his New York accent, of which he had to voice more than one character, was horrible. I think I got distracted by the story trying to remember whose voice was whose.I do think I like Stone Barrington and would enjoy more of Woods' books. The story was completely preposterous as you can expect with many noir, international mystery books. It was a nice short listen over all.

For me, I cant get enough Atone. The prices of the books are getting a little ridiculous. This book is yet another great Stone Barrington novel. It is Dino who becomes a star for me in this novel. There is so much to this complex duo who are now working to get La Biche, a who is trying to get revenge for the murder of her parents. Put together really well. I found it to be loaded with suspense!
