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.

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.
