Fast read good for summer ( )

Stone is working out his insurance claim, when of course, he sleeps with the beautiful insurance investigator, who is still married to bad guy. The bad guy stages a series of robberies, including all eleven of his mother's (Matilda Stone) paintings from Stone's townhouse, miraculously defeating the FBI's state-of-the-art security system. Throw in a little political plot around Kate Lee's announcement that she is seeking the presidency, and you have a typical story. This one was weaker than usual. ( )

This was horrible if you want to read a book that has a plot. Even the last 50 pages were short on excitement. Started with hop in bed sex and that was it for Stone unless eating at a restaurant. Kate as First Lady trying to run for president was discussed but really did not add much. Dino at least does some work helping to solve the robbery of paintings done by Stone's mother and then a jewelry show. Mentioned a conversation with Holly Barker, Lance, and Teddy Fay but had nothing to do with the story. ( )

The usual Barrington scenario with Stone's usual quick off the mark pace in finding a new playmate. This one, however, comes with a husband attached. Dinners with the Dino and the banter with him and Stone's staff add some local color to this lively series. ( )
  jamespurcell | Sep 9, 2019 |
Another completely far-fetched Stone Barrington book. Too much sex, too pat of a plot with everything easily falling into place to catch the bad guys. Such a far cry from the early writings of Stuart Woods. ( )
