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

By	Penelope Paterson "paterson003" (Cayman Islands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hot Mahogany (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Must We ALWAYS Go To Elaine's?, November 24, 2008

By	Digby "Digby" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Mahogany (Hardcover)

NYC probably has more wonderful restaurants than any other city in the USA. Yet every other scene in ALL Stone Barrington books take place at Elaine's. Can we assume the author eats there for free as payment for all the plugs for the place in his books. The latest Zagat Guide gives the place a very poor rating of 16 out of 30 for food. Would such a high living man such as Stone really eat there every night of his life? How about broadening Stones universe in the next book?

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

By	J. M. Piterniak "JP" (Cohoes, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hot Mahogany (Hardcover)

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.
