Doing Hard Time

Stone Barrington allies with a former foe when his west coast vacation turns into a dangerous situation in this riveting novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

When Stone Barrington embarks on a trip to Bel-Air to check in on some business and personal concerns, he expects a relaxing break from the fast pace and mean streets of New York. But trouble never takes a vacation, and it has a way of finding Stone. A case that had seemingly been resolved has returned in full force—with lethal results. And this deadly situation makes for strange bedfellows when Stone finds himself teamed with the least likely ally: former CIA operative Teddy Fay—a gentleman of unique abilities who specializes in flying below the radar and above the law...

Better the second time

This is my second time and I enjoyed again . Now I remember how Teddy was wrought into the books

Typical Stuart Wood! FLAWLESS!

Another well told Stone Barrington novel. I like how Woods is beginning to add the kids in so they can maybe take over the series in the future.

A very good addition to the series

Not as Stone Barrington centric as most in the series, but the re-introduction of a previous character was great. This particular character is very clever. Lots of suspense with a good ending.

Although most like the narrator, I find his voice distracting. I feel like I’m listening to Humphrey Bogart’s Sam Spade. Jmo.

Yeah for Teddy Fay.

What did you like best about this story?

This was the best Stone Barrington I have listened to in awhile. The last have seem fairly absurd with the plot lines. Not that this one isn't a bit far-fetched at times, but the reintroduction of Teddy Fay made the intrigue more engaging.

Awesome

the story kept me intrigued and now I am want to hear more.. on to my next book
