1.0 out of 5 stars never follows through, October 30, 2008

This review is from: Hot Mahogany: A Stone Barrington Novel (Hardcover)

I have all of Stuart Wood's book and have enjoyed them all, this one had the potential to be very good and started off well. The story line of Lance's brother's loss of memory could have taken off and led the story somewhere, however, it was more or less pushed aside and never really had any meat. After the first couple of chapters it just died for me. Each chapter brought in something new, but it was never followed though so just left you thinking "what happened with that". Normally Stuart's books keeping you wanting more after each chapter and it is very hard to put his books down. This one however just leaves you bored.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment, October 27, 2008

I have no clue who committed the crime, or even what the crime exactly was. Something about switched-around furniture and a bunch of tiresome plot twists. I came away with two things:

1. Cop Dino Bacchetti never left Elaine's Restaurant, except to commit a felony. Nice.

2. Stone Barrington is a bed-hopping sleaze, trading off partners more often than the average person changes their socks.

I hope Mr. Woods gets back on track after this mess, and we see some of his other serial characters like Will Lee, in new adventures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hot Mahogany Left Me Cold, June 2, 2009

This review is from: Hot Mahogany (Stone Barrington) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read all of the Stone Barrington books and I think the middle ones in the series are decent light fiction: entertaining, engaging, sometimes even touching. But lately it seems like Woods has just been phoning it in when it comes to this series. In Hot Mahogany, the writing's poor, the dialogue's stilted, the plot is thin, and the characters are so lightly sketched as to be almost transparent. I recommend that you don't waste your time or money. Skip this one.
