Worst Fears Realized

I'm enjoying reading the series. Woods always writes a pretty good story that is hard to put down. Our hero, Stone Barrington, is literally a crime solving chick magnet and this book is no different. This is the 5th book in the series; however, I've read #6 and looked for clues about future plot angles and characters in #5. They are really subtle. Just read and enjoy...don't overthink. #7 next month.

Best Stone Barrington yet. Moves quickly and Woods established a connection to the reader with his fringe characters as well here, plus Stone bags another babe or two. I liked the tension Woods created in this one.

Not a man to dwell on the past, Stone Barrington has no choice but to rattle old skeletons when the people closest to him start dying, and he has little to go on but the suspicion that the killer might be someone he once knew. The trip down memory lane isn't all bad though, for it reunites Stone withhis ex-partner Dino Bachetti, now head of detectives in the nineteenth precinct. Trying to find a brilliant killer in a sea of old faces is difficult enough without Stone's former love, Arrington, now Mrs. Vance Calder, resurfacing too - especially when she sets off her own fireworks coming nose to nose with his latest flame, a Mafia princess as beautiful as she is dangerous.

I expected a mystery/thriller. What I got was soft-core porn. It reads like the fantasies of a 15 year old boy.

This is the book I accidentally skipped. A series of murders and attempted murders occur around Stone Barrington, and the main suspect is incarcerated at Sing Sing. Stone gets help from an unexpected source, and from his best friend, Dino Bacchetti.

Light and fun mystery. Strangely, "the baby" in this book is a boy and not a girl as was in previous book.
