L.A. Dead (2001)

My brother turned me onto Stuart Woods a couple summers ago when he passed on to me a box full of books he was done with (some of which I have not yet gotten around to reading), and I have enjoyed the ones I read, so I was happy to pick up four more of his books at a recent library book sale (at ...

Dead in the Water (1998)

My second Stone Barrington novel, and this one was better than the first. I think it has been a while since I read a novel from the late 90s (my other vice - dystopia, is not that olda genre, at least the more recent YA series), so I really enjoyed the faxes, looking for payphones, etc. the chara...

Two Dollar Bill (2005)

Decent enough Barrington, twisty suspense / entertainment!Maybe the most obvious thing to say, especially to those like us that have read every book in Woods' growing bibliography, including all the Stone Barrington series, is that this one is as predictably good as most of them. While sometimes ...

Cold Paradise (2002)

Joint review with Woods' L.A. DeadStone Barrington is a cop-turned-lawyer and private investigator who needs to be much more selective in his choice of bedmates. I read these two books out of sequence. They can be read independently, but to get the full flavor of the hole Stone has dug for hims...

Reckless Abandon (2004)

Hodgepodge of former characters -- just a light mystery...We're Woods' fans, so were pleasantly surprised to see (Police Chief) Holly Barker and (Private Eye and playboy) Stone Barrington, Woods' newest and biggest stars respectively, hookup in NYC where Holly is chasing Trini Rodriquez, a leftov...

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 ...

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...

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....
