The last thing Stone expected was a desperate call from Calder. Arrington has vanished, and her new fiance; wants Stone to come to LA and find her. In a town where the sharks drive Bentleys and no one can be trusted, Stone soon discovers he's drowning in a sea of empty clues that take him from Bel Air to Malibu to Rodeo Drive. Running out of time and leads, he needs to keep his head above water and find Arrington fast, or end up swimming with the fishes himself. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More like Drowning To Catalina...When I'm into a good read, I will have that book by my side until it's finished.. I put this book down for 5 days and nearly forgot about it! If that tells you much.. I have been caught in a spell of finding horribly boring books lately, where this book was recommended as "an amazing story." How could you go wrong with that?, I thought. Yeah well, to my disappointment, I was bored through this entire book. There were so many different characters and names to remember, I got lost a nearly gave ...

His books should be half as long because all his characters go around in circles about a dozen times. He's got to come up with some better names: Stone? Arrington? Dino? Ippolito? Barrington? C'mon, buddy. What else can I say, it's slightly less ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent readHe makes the books very exciting and I just want to hurry and read it so I know how it ends. To keep a person attached to a book like that takes a lot of talent, and he's got it. Rating: - Standard Stone Barrington taleStuart Woods can write really good novels like "Chiefs", but this is not close to that quality. However, it is an entertaining and moderately exciting read. Not the author's best, but readable and enjoyable. Rating: - This book makes a real splash!Wow, what an amazing book - it starts with a splash (literally) in the prologue, where we find Stone Barrington, bound with duct tape, being chained to an anchor, then summarily thrown into the Pacific. Flashback to New York: he receives a phone call from Vance Calder - Arrington is missing, can Stone come to LA right away? At first Stone demurs, then Vance throws in the kicker - Arrington is pregnant. Whose baby is it? Not even Arrington knows. When Stone gets to LA, however, Vance is behaving a ... Read More |
