Book

Doing Hard Time (2013)

A dot-to-dot kind of summer reading....The plot and setup on this Stone Barrington escapade is very thin. Everything just fits in the box, way too neatly. Want to run into a fugitive -- boom, just stop for gas. Want to get a job -- boom, just ask. Want to find a girlfriend -- boom, just meet one....

Standup Guy (2014)

A Stuart Woods book is pretty much guaranteed to be fun, especially when it stars the ridiculously rich, raucously randy Stone Barrington, most everybody's favorite ex-cop-turned-lawyer-turned-sleuth. But it's the cast of familiar characters that make a Woods tome even more entertaining, from Din...

Mounting Fears (2008)

Dirt (1997)

After loving New York Dead for it's willingness to change up the formula for a detective procedural, I had high hopes that this novel would continue in the same vein. I wasn't disappointed. Dirt once more returns to ex-detective turned private-eye/lawyer Stone Barrington as he comes across a new ...

Iron Orchid (2006)

The Run (2001)

Another great novel in the Stuart Woods world and one that keeps you interested throughout, is never too predictable, brings back a lot of characters from the last Will Lee novel [Grass Roots], but doesn't do so at the expense of story or new twists and really makes great use of all. If there wer...

Dead in the Water (1998)

My second Stone Barrington novel, and this one was better than the first.
