Family Jewels

De: Stuart Woods

Narrado por: Tony Roberts

When Stone Barrington takes on a wealthy heiress as his client, he finds himself handling a whole lot of trouble in this “this glossy, modern take on the classic detective story” (Publishers Weekly).

Stone Barrington’s newest client is a poised lady of considerable wealth who’s looking for help discouraging the attentions of a tenacious gentleman. But no sooner does Stone fend off the offensive party than his client becomes involved in two lethal crimes. With suspects aplenty, Stone probes deep into his client’s life to find the truth, and he discovers that the heart of the mystery may be a stunningly beautiful vestige of a bygone era. It’s a piece with a long and storied past and untold value...the kind of relic someone might kill for. Among the upper crust nearly everyone has buried a skeleton or two, and it will take all of Stone’s investigative powers to determine whose secrets are harmless, and whose are deadly.

disappointing

boring. his Stone Barrington books are getting really tired and uninteresting. this will be the last time i spend money on this series

Family Jewels

I have to say I have found my favorite Stone story to date. What a philanthropist Stone is and to donate the necklace what a gift.

Satisfied

Nothing less than I expect from the stone barrington series.. it is exciting to “live vicariously “ through his exploits..really enjoy the narrator’s voice as well.. I continue to enjoy the stories… keep up the good work

An excellent read (listen)
Tony Roberts is beyond excellent.

Would reccomend it to all Stuart Woods fans and everyone else

Fun Book

Kept my attention. Helps keep me focused on the book and not on other things.

Sparkling

Always enjoy a good romp with Stone and Dino. Stone is way too generous though...lol

Stuart keeps the same themes

I liked it, but it does get wordy. His books seem to be written with a template. Still a fast read.

Terrific!

Another great story by Woods! Well written as always. Stone Barrington at his finest! Superb!
