About this audiobook

Stone Barrington is back in this thrilling new page-turner from the perennially entertaining New York Times-bestselling author.

Stone Barrington is back in New York, and after a rather harrowing sojourn in Key West, he's looking to stay closer to home and work on some simple divorce and custody cases for Woodman & Weld. But when he crosses paths with a fetching Broadway actress-and sometime lip model- Stone gets a little more deeply involved with business than he'd expected. When his new lady love turns out to be a lady with a shady past, Stone and downtown cop Dino Bacchetti realize that her beauty may have an unusually high price. . . .

    Stone Barrington is back in New York and looking forward to some downtime working cases for Woodman & Weld that the prestigious law firm does not wish to be seen to be associated with. But when he crosses paths with a fetching Broadway actress - and sometime lip model - Stone gets a little more deeply involved with show business than he'd expected. Then the fleecing of a wealthy art dealer's daughter leads him into the worlds of financial fraud, Big Art, and Manhattan's Upper East Side, where opulent co-op apartments are hung with multimillion-dollar paintings, and where family scandals never remain hidden for long. No stranger to high society or the foibles of the rich, Stone soon realizes he must uncover the truth in a world where wealth and beauty may come at a unusually high price.

    A better than average former cop, now attorney is given an assignment to protect a rising stage star from her ex-husband while he also must save the young daughter of a friend from the clutches of a greasy con man, sans painter. Stone hops from bed to bed as he protects and foils, slips around higher ups playing politics and finally wins the day without getting shot. Of course people he likes, do.This was an entertaining read. Not deep, but perfect for the genre. I look forward to reading anoher of Stuart's Urban adventures.

    Solid Barrington Novel. Entertaining, but not quite with the innumerable plot twists.

    I usually enjoy Stuart Woods Stone Barrington series very much. This one however, didn't quite measure up to some of his better works. It may be a case of "cranking" out too many books too fast, but the earlier books seemed to combine fast paced action and a decent plot in addition to Stone being able to charm every woman that he meets.In this latest work, 17th in the series I believe, Stone is having dinner with Dino, as usual, when he picks up an aspiring actress who has recently moved from Georgia to New York, and quickly finds out that she has ex-husband issues. Stone also manages to thwart a Ponzi scheme and protect a young heiress from a drug seller/con artist. Sounds like it might be action packed doesn't it? Well, unfortunately it isn't. There is a tease of a reappearance of his ex wife Dolce, but no mention whatsoever of Arrington.I am no prude, but reading about Stone's constant, and I do mean constant sexual escapades were making me tired! I hope that this book is a fluke and not an indication of a decline in the author's writing.

    Stuart Woods knows how to write a fast-paced, action filled novel. Our hero solves a couple of crimes while hopping in the sack with several willing accomplices. How trashy! Stone and Dino do manage to solve a crime or two in the process. Not much thought involved...I'll just move along to the next one in the series.

    Quick read...not a bad story, but Woods books (especially the Stone Barrington series) have become very formulaic. Move along....you don't need to see his identification...these aren't the droids you're looking for.....

    Not one of the best. Plot was thin and the sex was gratuitous. Really had no sympathy for the person in trouble and little for most of the other main characters.

    Okay, with this book Stuart Woods slid into the comedy genre. Excellent. He USED to a pretty decent thriller writer. I'm still not sure why his protagonist, an attorney, ends up tracking down missing persons or being hired to keep people safe from their Highly Dangerous and Obsessive Exes, but that's what he does. And for someone who has two houses, a secretary, a cook, a housekeeper, and an airplane, I'm not sure why his secretary is constantly harping on him that they don't have enough money to pay the bills. Dude, stop living beyond your means.In the last book, the first sex scene was on page 11, so I was disappointed that I had to wait all the way until page 16 for the first sex scene in this one. I thought maybe Woods was finally learning some restraint in that department. But lo, was I ever wrong. In this book, Stone (the detective turned attorney) gets not one, but two, threesomes! Of course, neither of these are the woman he begins seeing at the beginning of the book - that would be Carrie.Carrie is an actress and lip model who is newly divorced from Max. Depending on whose story you believe, either Carrie or Max is obsessive and violent. But since Stone is having sex with Carrie, of course he believes her. He puts her in touch with a security firm and they protect her from the Big, Bad Ex-Husband while Stone has lots and lots of sex with her.In the meantime, Stone hears about the daughter of his boss' friend who is dating an Unsavory Guy who is probably into embezzling and drugs. Stone is hired to legally make the guy disappear from the daughter's life forever. Again, I have no idea why one would turn to an attorney for such a job, but whatever. Stone, in turn, devises this grandiose plan utilising the NYPD, the FBI, helicopters, and raw eggs (don't ask).It most likely doesn't bode well that, at one point in the book, Stone scalded his tongue and throat on too-hot coffee and I guffawed with laughter.

    Avoid this book at all cost. I don't know what has become of Stuart Woods but he certainly wasn't present when he wrote this awful book about superficial New Yorker rich folks and their sex lives. Thin plot, little mystery, nothing.

    I agree with jonesli that it seems like he's cranking out too many books ala Parker & Patterson and it was around 10-15 books ago that they seemed to not have the edge. Possibly it's just that I've become used to his tone. Also seems that around the same time he started to get more descriptive re: his SB sexual prowess - maybe in order to offset the lack of new perspectives. Make me wonder if Stuart didn't start to have a problem himself around that time! No matter what, when I get a new Woods, Parker, Patterson etal - it's like an extra bowl of ice cream - fun to consume, make you happy but don't eat every day !

    Pretty good. Stone Barrington is a likeable main character.Stone gets involved in a case to lure a client's daughter away from a seedy boyfriend. He then gets caught up in a drug case and Ponzi scheme that are intertwined with the daughter and seedy boyfriend. While all of this is going on, Barrington is spending seemingly EVERY free minute in bed with a variety of women. This got a little monotonous.

    Stone Barrington and his friend Dino are featured again. Stone has two clients, both women, and a policewoman who can't get enough of Stone. It's ridiculous. Stone's client a wealthy man, wants his daughter protected from the shady artist with whom she's having an affair. Meanwhile, Stone meets an actress with jealous, gun carrrying ex-husband.

    Stone Barrington is at it again. He's involved with several women at the same time (and sometimes in bed, too!) and he gets involved in case for his law firm where a client wants his daughter's boyfriend gone. The boyfriend turns out to be a bit more shady than previously thought and it turns into a police case - then the fun begins and Dolce, Stone's ex is back and she wants Stone ...
