Wonderful example to Stuart Woods' books

I have been waiting for some time for Audible to carry one of Stuart Woods' books. It has been well worth the wait. This book holds your attention from the beginning to the end. The characters are well defined and since the author has interwoven characters from his other books, they are brought in as an enhancement to his regular readers but they are also incorporated into the story in such a way that new readers aren't left out. I hope Audible will continue to provide more books by this author.
The major difficulty I had with the book was the narration. I like Tony Roberts as an actor and I have thoroughly enjoyed him before when he read non fiction. However, his reading of this piece of fiction was deplorable. He attempts to do voices that all come out the same.A reader needs to do voices only if they are capable to doing them or just read the book without embellishments. Jonathan Marosz, who is usually chosen to read books by Stuart Woods does such a much better job.

A stand out !!

I really enjoyed this Barrington Series installment. Stuart Woods keeps me laughing and anticipating throughout each Barrington novel. I love all of the characters and feel as if I know them.
I particularly enjoyed the action in this one, and was VERY satisfied with the ending !!!!! .....looking forward to the next one.......

2 dollar bill

I love the stone Barrington novels but this one was a little slow still a good read

Can't handle " Barnstormer.."fake accent".

Good story. Read the book years ago. Barnstormer ruins the play. This is supposed to be "Audible" ...right??

Not for a trained ear.

Fun listen

We had a great time listening to this book. The narrator was terrific and the story was easy listening and exciting at the same time. Please bring more Stuart Woods books to Audible!

Same Old Stone Barrington

"How about dinner tonight at Elaine's" And that's how the book goes. The usual suspects gather together for yet another quick and to the point Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington book. Don't get me wrong, the book is easy listening but with no surprises. I expect that from Woods. He's a guilty pleasure with me. It's ike watching a Steven Seagal film, at least the earlier ones, where I know I shouldn't like them but I catch myself sticking with them when they show up on "action max" or some other pay channel. Tony Roberts does a nice job with the characters but what is it with Elaine's voice characterization? She sounds like an old sea captain that's smoked too many cigarettes. All in all it was worth spending my last credit.

Sometimes confusing

Though I struggled keeping track of all the characters I enjoyed most of the story. The parts I didn't find interesting were filled with too many characters to keep track of.

Two Dollar Bill

Another great story by Stuart Woods. His writing from story to story is fantastic. Can't wait for his next one.

Fun Story

One of the better Stone Barrington books. #11 and four books are skipped in the audiobook series, causing the audio listner some questions like: "Where did THAT come from?" Also, in the narration, Dino changed to a geeky sound in my ears; didn't like it much as he sounded somewhat punky.. The book contains a couple of factual errors, but is otherwise intriguing, fast moving and entertaining. Our hero, Stone, gets woo'd by the US Attorney of Manhattan and then it turns quirky. when FBI and CIA intramural fights erupt. "What's the CIA doing in internal actions?" I wondered. Woods does a good job suspending the reader by engaging with the bad guy and doesn't reveal his identity of until the book is mostly done. Nevertheless where's #12?

Thrilling

I enjoyed Two Dollar Bill by Stuart Woods. I couldn't stop listening. Wonderful story line.
