    About this audiobook

    A brand-new page-turning Stone Barrington novel from the perennially entertaining New York Times-bestselling author.

    It seems like just another quiet night at Elaine's. Stone Barrington and his former cop partner, Dino, are enjoying some pasta when in walks former client and all around sad sack Herbie Fisher...with a briefcase containing $14 million in cash.

    Herbie claims to have won the money on a lucky lotto ticket, but he also says he needs a lawyer-and after a single gunshot breaks the window above his head and sends diners scrambling, Stone and Dino suspect Herbie might need a bodyguard and a private investigator, too.

      This plot includes spies and counter-spies. Meets Dino at Elaine's every nite, has a long affair with dame Felicity, who survives the book to play again. Stone gets type rated in another airplane, paid for by one of his objects of investigation. Herbie is a distraction. Stone begins to play in every elevated circles. Loose ends in the larger circle get tied up. Fun read--don't get too much into realism with the Barrington series.

      It seems like just another quiet night at Elaine's. Stone Barrington and his former cop partner Dino are enjoying their drinks when in walks former client and all-around sad sack Herbie Fisher. . . in need of a lawyer. But while he's trying to fend off Herbie, Stone is propositioned by another potential client, this one a bit more welcome, because she's both a potential employer and a beautiful woman. She's looking for somebody whom somebody else wants dead. She takes Stone into the posh world of embassy soirees and titled privilege, where high society meets government intrigue. And when trouble follows him from his Manhattan townhouse to his tranquil summer home in Maine, Stone has to decide what to do with the explosive information he's uncovered.
    • 3/5
      Typical Stuart Woods -- light story, way more sexual relations than possible for a normal person, and a ridiculous adventure. This one involved a British operative searching for someone who left the British service 10 years earlier. Seems he was involved with the daughter of one of the British ministers.
    • 4/5
      One of the better Stone Barrington books, this one had a fairly intriguing plot with somewhat less pretentious characters. Keeps you guessing until the end....
    • 3/5
      This plot includes spies and counter-spies. Subtle clues enhanced the story and kept the reader wondering until the last chapter.
    • 3/5
      Not worth the time to read. Poor plotting; unrealistic characters.
    • 2/5
      I remember liking the first few Stuart Woods' books I read, but they seem to have become more shallow as time has passed. I do not find them engaging. This was no exception. There was a hunt for a lost identity with ensuing love, mystery and drama. It was OK.
    • 3/5
      The book started with one of the funniest chapter I ever read. But then little by little, it became less funny and Stuart Woods used more and more tired formulas. Ultimately the action became so unlikely that my interest vanished.

      quirky characters as Stone works with Brit Felicity as she tries to find former CIA - Herbie pays Stone 1 million for fee after winning lottery
    • 3/5
      This book reminded me why I'm destashing all of my Stuart Woods books. His plots are find to read, but I swear he's in a constant race with himself to see how fast he can get a sex scene in a book (page 11 in this book - and it was two of them, which should ALSO tell you how not-so-great his sex scenes are).Since the characters aren't actually ever comparing the size of their penises, they instead engage in similar contests by way of piloting airplanes. "I fly XYZ airplane." "Oh really? Well I fly ABC jet. REAL men fly jets. If you worked for my firm, you'd be able to fly JETS, you know." Basically since the author has much knowledge of flying, all of his characters are pilots (or soon take flying lessons) and what would be a fast-paced novel gets weighted down by three-pages scenes of detailed pre-flight checklists and preparing to take off.However, when that isn't happening, our intrepid protagonist Stone Barrington, J.D., has been hired to track down a guy who disappeared a few years ago. Said Bad Guy may or may not have been seen in New York (where Stone resides) two weeks ago. The catch is that the guy used to work for British intelligence and has the knowledge and used to have access to fun toys to make himself untraceable and virtually unfindable. Stone uses his considerable resources and connections to try to track the Bad Guy so he can save Great Britain. Apparently, if the Bad Guy is actually still alive and releases some sensitive information, the free world as we know it will cease to exist. Now, why an attorney is chosen for this task, God only knows. But there you have it.In the meantime, Stone's crazy ex-wife (responsible for the bullet wound in his knee - and, personally, after reading about him for 20-something books, I'm not sure that I blame her. Seriously, WHY I am still reading these???) is out of the prison or the loony bin (okay, I admit, I wasn't reading this book all that carefully) and is stalking him again.I'm not sure what else was going on in this book. Really, the most memorable (and not in a good way) things were two of the sex scenes. One in which the author actually said they took a nap after 30 minutes of "inventive lovemaking." Really? You can't DESCRIBE the sex??? The other was when he said the woman "climbed him like a tree." Cause that's what I'VE always dreamed of doing. /sarcasm

      An easy summer read.
    • 2/5
      Typical Stone Barrington book with Dino and the regulars. Stone's helping Felecity (MI5 ?) while keeping Herbie out of trouble after he won the lottery.
    • 2/5
      I've always enjoyed Stuart Woods' mysteries; my favorite was his first book, Chiefs, which had a riveting plot and strong character development. This was followed with several really well done books that I very much enjoyed. I can remember years ago reading one of his mysteries while cooking dinner, book in one hand, stirring the pot on the stove with the other. His last several books have not lived up to that high standard. They seem formulaic with very one dimensional characterization. Lucid Intervals was a very flat read; if it were for all those years of enjoyable mysteries, I doubt I would have bothered.Stone Barrington, an investigative attorney who appears in many of Woods' mysteries, becomes involved with a beautiful British Intelligence Agency woman. They are in and out of bed, in chauffeur driven Bentley's, eating and drinking at Elaine's, while apparently investigating an incident that is not only not compelling, but also fairly boring. I do not recommend this book, but I do recommend Chiefs, the first book by Stuart Woods, a really great read.
    • 4/5
      Typical Stone Barrington with a few loose ends finally tied up. An easy yet fun read. If you like Stone this'll be right up your alley.
