About this listen

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

Great

I started out of order, I’ve listened to probably 20 Stone Barrington books and love them. It was nice to hear how he started out.

Up & Down Ride

Author seemed more interested in characters than the story. Also had problems with narator.

Narrator sounds 80 yrs old but main character is supposed to be in 30’s

Narrator voice does not fit age of character…ruined it for me. Best part of book was when he became an investigator. Ending was obvious from the beginning.

One of Stuart Woods best books.

This is the first Stone Barrington book, and one of SW's early books. His first books, maybe about 6-7 of them, were, in my opinion, the best books he wrote. The Stone books were always entertaining, even as they got to #45, but are not nearly as good as his first books. New York Dead is excellent!
