Explanation Concering Books Loitering with Intent (Stone Barrington #16)
The newest addition to the New York Times- bestselling Stone Barrington series.Dumped by his glamorous Russian girlfriend during dinner at Elaine's, and running low on cash, Stone Barrington is having a bad week. So his luck seems to be improving when he's hired to locate the missing son of a very wealthy man-lucky because the job pays well, and because the son is hiding in the tropical paradise of Key West. But when Stone and his sometime running buddy Dino Bacchetti arrive in the sunny Keys, it appears that someone has been lying in wait. When Stone very nearly loses his life after being blindsided at a local bar, he realizes that the young man he's been hired to track may have good reason for not wanting to be found. Suddenly Key West is looking less like Margaritaville and more like the mean streets of New York. . . .

Great series! engaging plotline with a bit of an intrigue added that will keep readers guessing..good writing (paperback!)Better than the last one I read. Stuart is one of the most predictable, pedestrian, writers out there. It is so bad it is good. I find myself laughing out loud during his books because the entertainment is in the ridiculous writing not the actual book. This is why it is my annual summer read. Every summer I read a Stuart Woods book because he is my Danielle Steele. This novel is not as bad as the last one. Surprisingly, he did not have an anti Bush comment or anti Republican comment. Wow! He is
??? This seems to me like the author just phoned it in. Seemed like one where the author has written so many books that he doesn't bother. Took so much writer's license - so many things were too far-fetched or just unexplained. Even the author's note at the end of the book (which basically is a big sign telling the reader "don't bother me") is the same note, word-for-word, that he includes in all his books.

Woods is now on my list of never buy only borrow. Light detective mysteries that get more difficult to care about. Borrowed this one from library. Will finish this one, probably give it a 2 or 3 and maybe move on from his books. Well it's now been read, and it was a 2. LIght detective reading and though i do like the two main characters, for some reason I don't like the author. Woods must have a deal with Elaine's in NYC because he drops the name of her restaurant in so many chapters of all his
Dawn's, late.This was hard to rate because on the one hand there was not even a mention of stupid Arrington, and I actually liked the mystery in this one. But on the other hand, the editing was horrendous. It wasn't even typos, which actually weren't bad. It was content. In one part Eggers tells Stone how much a deal is worth. Later in the book, Stone mentions how much the deal was worth to Eggers and Eggers asks him how he knew! Stone says he looked at the contract! I've seen similar errors in
lo and behold, the local library had this 2009 book! I always enjoy the stone barrington series, though i suppose his character could be described as a male chauvinist pig since he has the ideal bachelor existence--not working too much, drinking, dating voluptuous women, flying his plane and having a great time with his now bachelor former partner, police detective dino bacchetti, this time in key west, a place i had thought we would be visiting this winter. the job of locating a potentially
