'Dirt' is my first venture into the world of Stone Barrington and it definitely will not be my last. Glad to have finally started and already have several more lined up. Narrator Tony Roberts shines as he flawlessly translates the tenor of the storyline into each (autonomous) character voice.
I waited a long time to find book #2 in this series and after reading it, I wonder if I really liked book #1 as much as I thought I did (so long ago I wasn't rating and reviewing here). I didn't care much about most of the characters in the story but I won't have to worry about that as the series goes on because most of them were killed off in this edition. Not caring created not really following and finding it all a little dull, confusing and poorly ended. I kept interpreting the over-abundance...
Notes:New narrator & he did a great job. I think I have a good handle on how the series will roll and I'm not sure if I'm in the right mood for it. The different characters all seem to have the same kind of mentality of "Do whatever you want. Just don't get caught." that I have a hard time believing. There's a lot of sex scenes and it's rather obvious that someone must have a love of oral sex. While the first book was more clumsy in throwing in details, it was more entertaining. This one was bet...
I read this two months ago and I can't remember a thing about it. I haven't read a Woods book, however, that varies in format much - opulent settings, private planes, yachts, bullet-proof cars, friends in high places, beautiful blondes - same old, same old.
It was great to see most of the criminals get the justice they deserve.
Seriously?! This is a bestselling series?!I'll point out the good first because there is so little of it. Stone Barrington is a forced to retire ex-cop, who also has a law degree. This allows him to pick up cases that he really wants to pursue. This case is about D-list celebrities that are getting their dirty laundry aired by a mysterious source. The mystery was good and I enjoyed as it unravelled once we found out who is the source. Despite the mystery being good, it was really hard to get int...
3 Stars. Stone has moved on since the first novel in this great series, "New York Dead." In the intervening 5 years, he has been practicing law as Counsel to Woodman and Weld where he takes criminal cases off cleaner hands when a long-time client bumps into an unsavoury matter. He also seems to have had a lengthy relationship with a beautiful judge! As "Dirt" begins, he's getting dumped by Judge Sara O'Neal. Now that can't be a new experience for Stone! He's not far removed from being a police d...
I enjoyed this one more than book one. Looks like I’m hooked on Stone Barrington now.
Ok series! entertaining. S.W. should have done a much better job with this storyline,he's too much of a great writer to be wasting the series mostly with 70% on Stone having sex,sex,sex instead of the regular action and detective work (paperback!)
I'm a big fan of Barrington series so I'm going back to where Stone Barrington begins.
Fascinating story of tabloid magazines and womanizing lawyer/detective Stone Barrington. Normally, journalist stories are not my thing, but this is a detective story set in the sleazy world of sensational journalism. Amanda Dart is the queen of gossip columnists, but mysteriously, the name of her magazine is never mentioned in the book. Likes:* Cut throat world of gossip columnists(view spoiler)[* "You and I must never, ever marry." Arrington Carter to Stone Barrington* Arrington sleeping over p...
I read this straight after completing the first in the series, New York Dead. I gave that one four stars. 'Dirt' is even better and merits full marks. The plot is just as good but the ending better. The thing I like the most about the two books is Woods' very smooth writing style which is easy to read with hardly ever a wasted word. Characters are easy to picture in the mind and generally very believable, nothing far-fetched. I really look forward to reading the rest of the series, over time, pa...
I’ll give this 2 stars because the storyline is fairly interesting. The rest of it is, simply, terrible. None of the characters are likable, not even Stone. He’s probably the most likable character, but that’s not saying much. The women are all (save one) caricatures of what I assume is the author’s wet dream-tall, fit, big boobs, long legs, nymphomania...Stone sleeps with at least 3 of them, including the sister of some suspects. Stone shows up in the middle of a snow storm, introduces himself
