About this audiobook
The new page-turning Stone Barrington novel from the perennially entertaining New York Times bestselling author.
Stone Barrington is enjoying his usual dinner at Elaine's when his boss at Woodman & Weld, the law firm where Stone is "of counsel," walks in, sits down, and hands Stone a check for one million dollars. It seems Stone's undercover dealings with MI6 have brought in a big new client for the firm, and they're willing to pay Stone a huge bonus and make him a partner.
But almost as soon as he's taken the deal, Stone gets wind of an impending scandal that might torpedo his big promotion: It may be that the lucrative new client whom he's introduced to the firm might be a Bernie Madoff in disguise...

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Stone Barrington is enjoying his usual dinner at Elaine's when his boss at Woodman & Weld, the law firm where Stone is "of counsel", begins to talk about a partnership. It seems Stone's discreet handling of super-wealthy clients has earned him a place in the most elite of white-shoe law firms. But almost as soon as his elevation is mentioned, Stone gets wind of an impending scandal that could put some of New York's rich and powerful in financial peril. In a world of easy wealth, Park Avenue penthouses and society galas, Stone Barrington is something of an outsider. . . but one who always knows exactly what his clients require.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5very disappointing... I remembered liking this series, better. dialog was stilted, storyline felt forced.. characters were stereotypes
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Who killed Adele?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Solid, though not spectacular Barrington yarn. Worth the read - just okay.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the 19th book in the Stone Barrington series -- they are fun reads, but one cannot place too much reality on them. Stone has many funny adventures and he gets himself into several amusing situations--in the middle of the book, a CIA protectee flies a Mercedes out the back of a privately owned C-17, the car lands in a swimming pool--the new client shows up at Stone's office the next day! Then Stone has more sex with another woman. Wood's Barrington novels are fairly unbelievable but that is part of the appeal. Where's number 20?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the 19th book in the Stone Barrington series and I've only read/listened to a couple of the other ones. Overall they are fun reads and help the miles fly by when traveling. Stone has many funny adventures and he gets himself into several amusing situations in this book. Most are fairly unbelievable but that is part of the appeal. Stone's client Herbie gets himself married to the daughter of a multimillionaire, and she's a looker too. Stone is invited to the wedding and wonders how this match up happened. Along the way his association with Strategic Services and the CIA play heck with his social life. He agrees to go on a flight in a military jet owned by SS to go to Iraq and bring back military supplies from the stand down. He also is witness to an extraordinary rendition of a well known arms dealer. One who is very polite and likeable. And if it can be believed succeeds in escaping while the plane is still in flight. Stone has two big mysteries on his hands to keep him busy and it is all rather a lot of fun.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read this on the beach...moves quickly, and pretty fun to read. I seemed to be more into this Woods effort than previous Stone Barrington novels.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Synopsis: Stone Barrington finds himself, once again, having to deal with Lance Cabot and Holly Baker. He also must endure Herbie Fisher and his classic ‘wrong place, wrong time’ characteristic. The very rich attract murders, embezzlers, and other ‘bad guys’ along with the requisite members of the security and police, including Dino.Review: Throughout, I kept wondering which of the characters I really liked would be killed. This is a good ‘page turner’ by Stuart Woods. While it is OK as a stand-alone book, it’s better read in the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One cannot get too much of Stuart Woods’ crime novels, his superb, brisk, witty language, his likable heroes and villains, his plots and suspense, his ability to grasp our interest and hold it tight, and Stone Barrington’s sexual adventures. Herbie, who won tens of millions in a lottery and who foolishly falls into one problem after another marries and finds more problems, and Stone Barrington needs to protect him from himself and others. There appears to be a Bernie Madoff type ponzy scheme going on, but the forensic accountants can’t find it? What’s going on? Who’s taking the money and how? Will Stone be able to protect his, Herbie’s, and his legal firm’s millions of dollars? If so, how? Someone wants to kill a woman Stone is involved with. Can he save her? Stone becomes entangled in a CIA somewhat illegal matter and Lance Cabot, a high CIA official, is giving Stone grief about it. Stone is drawn into the affairs of a likable thief and con artist Pablo Estancia. These are just some of the adventures in this very enjoyable novel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Stone Barrington, the FBI, CIA and lots of questionable guys. Herbie Fisher wins the lottery and gets married to the daughter of a big financial guy whose company is in a lot of trouble. Herbie draws out his money just in time.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A little more updated than usual from Stuart Woods with references to Bernie Madoff and Osama bin Laden, a chase, danger, beautiful women, etc.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5About halfway into this book, Stone Barrington (an attorney) signs a new client who is hired by the CIA (who is also a client of Stone's) to extract (read: kidnap) a person from Europe so the CIA can "interrogate" him for information. (What happens until this point in the book? Honest to God, I have no idea what the point of the first half of the book was. Except that Stone slept with a woman who died, and then he didn't really seem to care. And the new client gets suspected on "losing" millions of dollars. But then it gets found. Whew.")The person the client extracts pulls a D.B. Cooper out of the airplane (except he uses a Mercedes). Then Stone has more sex with another woman.The extracted person then hires Stone because he has sensitive information that he knows the CIA will want. It's information the U.S. has wanted since September 11th.At this point, the book got so ludicrous, I would have thrown it across the room had it not been a library book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fast read but predictable this time....
