Publisher's summary

A brand-new Stone Barrington novel from the perennially entertaining New York Times best-selling author.

It seems like just another quiet night at Elaine's. Stone Barrington and his former cop partner, Dino, are enjoying some pasta when in walks former client and all around sad sack Herbie Fisher...with a briefcase containing $14 million in cash.

Herbie claims to have won the money on a lucky lotto ticket, but he also says he needs a lawyer-and after a single gunshot breaks the window above his head and sends diners scrambling, Stone and Dino suspect Herbie might need a bodyguard and a private investigator, too.

More mayhem? Listen to all of our Stone Barrington mysteries.

Series that has lost it's appeal

The narrator really does a poor job with Dino's and the English ladies voices. I enjoyed this series for a while but it has gotten old. The books are very short and the plots are not what they were. This is a case of an author milking his past success. Even at $9.95, I feel I wasted my money. I think I've cured myself of Stuart Woods.

Downhill

What is happening to Stuart Woods. Used to really enjoy his books but each new one has been less interesting than the one before. The plot is poor, Stone Barrington seems to only be interested in sex and he is not picky, any female will do. Please, Stuart Woods try to get back to writing exciting thrillers again! This book is so bad it is not worth listening to.

save your cedits

I have listened to over 500 books and suffered thru some of them but I could not even finish this book, I thought I was buying a mystery/thriller not a cookbook.

To be continued...

I am a huge fan of the Stone Barrington novels and this one does not dissappoint. As with all the books in this series, there is always another novel with some repeat characters and interwoven story lines. My only reason for not giving this book 5 stars is because this is yet another in a whole series of books from the last year that seems to not end and require the purchase of a to-be-continued book.

Tony Roberts does yet another bang up job in the narration and there are more storylines and characters in one book than normal. If you are a Herbie Fisher (sp?) fan, then you will get your fill in this book as he is crazy as ever and adds the comic relief to what could be considered a darker Stone book than normal.

Stone Barrington is the guy I love to hate

I just keep reading even though he's a mysoginist shallow pig.
And I really wish someone would replace the narrator. he's just so horrendously bad at accents. everyone sounds vaguely Russian.

Save your money

A poorly written turgid novel with a miscast reader. Barrington sounds ancient and Felicity a caricature of an English lady. The voices lack any authenticity but the substance of the novel is so weak that any reader would struggle to make it interesting for the listener. Not recommended!

Good, but not his best

I'm a huge Stone Barrington fan, and I am always eagerly awaiting his next adventure, so naturally I snapped up Lucid Intervals right away. While I did enjoy the book, it's definitely not one of his best. The previous "Hot Mahogany" and "Kisser" were much better, but still a good listen.

Lucid Intervals

I have ALL of the Stone Barrington series on my iPhone and I love and cherish each book. Yes, some of the books appeal to me more than others but I listen to them in order every so often and I still break out in laughter. I love Dino- he’s a hoot and Stone, the luckiest and sexiest man alive is so appealing in so many ways. I’m waiting for Stuart’s last stone Barrington novel to be released and I literally cried when Stuart passed away. He left me with unanswered questions. Did Stone finally marry Holly? I love how Stone Barrington was 42 in the first novel and then never aged thru all the books - still energetic and getting lucky and handsome to the last book. What a man !!!! I miss you Stuart Woods♥️

Captivating story. We’ll executed!

Excellent all the way through, though expected stronger close. Guess I have to go to the next book in the series.

Very entertaining as usual

You can't go wrong with a Stone Barrington novel!! And Tony Robert's brings the characters to life.
