If I had read this one before some of the later books, I would have dumped it because of Arrington. She’s a thoroughly unlikeable character due to her narcissistic and self-centered personality. Stone may be a ‘ho with how he falls into bed with anything female, but he’s still at least interested in doing the right thing and helping people. Rant over. This had a nicely convoluted plot with nasty villains, scarred by life, and bad guys that get what they deserve. It was a decent thriller/mystery that held my interest without being too stereotyped. A steely gossip columnist gets her comeuppance in this suspenseful novel. I had never read anything by Stuart Woods before; I didn’t think the works of the prolific author of thrillers would be my cup of tea. I tried this one on a dare of sorts, and I must say, it was at least readable, despite its characters’ conspicuous consumption, casual misogyny, and homophobia. I don’t think I will be continuing the series, however. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Stone might as well be James Bond lite -- smooth, good looking, able to bed any woman he comes across. He's smart, rich, suave, and has impeccable taste in everything from clothes to those aforementioned women. While this book (or the series, I imagine) won't win any literary awards, it's a fun ride, and I was more than happy to keep turning pages late into the night to see how the story would end. I will be continuing with the series, because I'm curious to see what kind of trouble Stone will get himself into next. ( )
