Fun, as the previous books were. I can't believe Stone is really in love, though. At least, not with the usual obligations that come with falling in love. Like fidelity. Every female on earth wants to bed him and Stone does not know how to say No.That said, Stone is fun to follow as he solves the murders and mysteries.I think this book was incredibly stupid and not believable. This has to be the worst one in the series so far. I really loved the Holly Barker series. Stone just isn't my kind of a character. I haven't found any endearing qualities yet.
The main character in the series is Stone Barrington, an ex-NYPD detective who is now practicing law. Vance Calder, now married to Stone's ex - Arrington, calls him for help in finding her. Stone flies to California and ends up involved in another mystery, which is very entertaining. The sexual exploits are not necessary and not appreciated. Stone ends up tied to an anchor and dropped in the ocean. Way to make a splash!
3.5 stars! mystery,entertaining,lots of action and even has a little adventure from Stone because of him being reckless after he finds out about Arrington & Vance's relationship..Mr.brokenhearted becomes distracted from his job of investigating the case to do the usual banging every female in his eye site or meets-- at least there was a satisfying conclusion to this series (paperback!)
Well said!
We're down to just 3 stars. Each book seems to get half a star worse. The sex is increasingly gratuitous. I wish Woods would just let these be mysteries, rather than trying to add in a sex element. It seems so contrived--like I'm reading a nice detective story and then someone slipped in a Playboy amateur writing contest page. Also, the way Stone, who I generally find to be likable and I believe is written with the intention of being likable--treats and talks about women is, well...far from
Wow, what a ride! Stone inadvertently butts heads with the Mob - who will win? I wouldn't bet on either one. Our hero must save his damsel in distress without getting killed. Can he do it? Twists and turns abound in this swimmingly breezy mystery. Loved this great addition to the series.
