A typical Stuart Woods - a book that's hard to put down and truly very enjoyable. This is a must read for any Stuart Woods fan. Stone Barrington always delights and always seems to know just what to do to get the job done - no matter what the job may be!

Interesting Stone Barrington novel with Stone involved in a fraudulent antique desk. During the search for the missing desk Stone travelled to Newport and Bristol, RI. Only disappointing angle is the 3 or 4 women who can't resist Stone. It's old and tired and it's time Stone had a committed

relationship.

Another excellent book by Stuart Woods. I have just recently 'discovered' this author, and I am excited with each book I read. This one centers around antiques, frauds, mystery and a wonderful surprise ending. Great characters, and ones you will remember long after you put the book down.

Hot Mahogany. Stuart Woods.2008. This is the third or fourth Stone Barrington novel I have read. Jim considers them “beach books”—easy reads with just enough plot to keep you interested to the end. I always think of Stone Barrington as looking like George Peppard. He is an adventurer, an

ex-cop and lawyer who has ties to the CIA, and always several attractive women interests. It isn’t necessary to read these books in orde

Beach book. This was a quick read, but just sort of rambled all over the place. The ending tied some things up and probably overall saved the book, but I honestly don't think I could recommend this to anyone.

Why do I keep reading this drivel? This time, our hero is trying to solve a counterfeit antique furniture case. Who knew there is such a market? Or, that someone would be murdered over it. He beds one or two women, who happen to live after the experience (not all do). The characters are familiar,

this is book #15--they ought to be. The plot is intriguing, characters just engaging enough to keep my interest-where's book #16?

Stone Barrington is lured from Elaine's to New England, and the genteel but cut-throat world of priceless antiques, historic homes, and lavish country estates. In a place dominated by bluebloods and their inherited wealth, along with the nouveau riche, there are surprisingly few rules of

engagement, and Stone finds himself navigating a dangerous course, one where even the most expensive and sought-after status symbols are sometimes stolen and sokmetimes clever fakes, though no less priceless.
