Hot Mahogany
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Classic Woods
I have become a fan of Stuart Woods' novels after meeting him last January, and again last Saturday. Stone Barrington is his best selling series, and HOT MAHOGANY will add one more success to his accomplishments.

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 ...

Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art, Second Edit
Judith Barrington
The Eighth Mountain Press, 2002
A must-read for those writing a memoir
An excellent book answering FAQs that you didn't know you had or if you did, you didn't know how to ask them. As I was crafting my own memoir, this book helped guide me on the path. I kept going back to it again and again as a reference, a reminder and as ...

Excellent fast paced mystery with a surprise ending

Swimming to Catalina
Stuart Woods, (none)
HarperTorch, 1998
This book makes a real splash!
Wow, what an amazing book - it starts with a splash (literally) in the prologue, where we find Stone Barrington, bound with duct tape, being chained to an anchor, then summarily thrown into the Pacific. Flashback to New York: he receives a phone call from Vance Calder ...

Dead Paradise (Stone Barrington Novels)
Stuart Woods
NAL Trade, 2006
Slick packaging
Be careful when buying this book. It is really a repackaging of two of his earlier best sellers in one cover. The title is so similar that it appears to be a new offering but it is really LA Dead and Cold Paradise in one cover. I was fooled. I'm not very happy by ...

Beverly Hills Dead

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 ...
