Fresh Disasters (Stone Barrington Novels)
Stuart Woods
Signet, 2007
Predictable but fun
When I use the word predictable, I mean that in the first line of the book, the usual characters and the opening plot. From there I was pleasantly surprised with the fun Woods was having with us as the readers. He changes up his storyline so that we are kept guessing ...

Beverly Hills Dead
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Excellent sequel
Readers will be well advised to read The The Prince of Beverly Hills first, because this is Stuart Woods' much awaited sequel.
Both stories are set in Hollywood and New York City in the 1940s, and feature characters in the movie industry. WWII had ended and the Cold ...

Santa Fe Rules
Stuart Woods
HarperTorch, 1993
A Pageturner for sure!
I brought this book along with me to read during an originally short plane trip. I started reading it on the way home and after two planes and a 5 hour delay in the middle, I easily finished this book in one day. This was a great book to have with me because it was ...

A serious page turner - I couldn't put it down
I read this book in an afternoon - about 4 hours. I literally could not stop turning the pages. This was an absolutely RIVETING chapter in Stone Barrington's life; suspenseful, horrifying and at the same time it sets up a lot of the ground floor for his future as ...

Grass Roots

Avon, 2002
Grass Roots by Stuart Woods
Absolutely Woods' best book. This was his first novel and I think it is his best. I have enjoyed every one I have read of his, but this one was like living my childhood over again. I "know" many of the characters in this story. It is a very well written storyline ...

Dark Harbor (Stone Barrington Novels)
Stuart Woods
Signet, 2006
Cop turned lawyer
The Margin
Perfect book title--Dark Harbor.
I took a break from Michael Connelly and tried Stuart Woods. So far I still like Connelly the best but Woods isn't too far behind. A Stone Barrington novel that follows the cop-turned-lawyer through a maze of suspense as he ...

Deep Lie
Stuart Woods
HarperTorch, 1998
Quite a good thriller
Another submarine thriller in the same vein as Tom Clancy but pacier and without the ponderous detail. The writing of course makes all the difference. A female protagonist discovers a master plan, a creation of a foreign government, and sets out to foil it. Her only ...
