Resumen del Editor

The outstanding new thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods.

Stone Barrington isn’t one to turn away in the face of danger, so when he witnesses a tricky situation underway, he jumps in to lend a hand.

He never expected, though, that this favor would lead to a mutually beneficial business deal with a prominent gentleman who requires the ever-discreet services of Woodman & Weld. But in the ruthless corporate world no good deed goes unpunished, and Stone soon finds himself the target of a ragtag group of criminal toughs who don’t appreciate his interference in their dealings.

From the isolated landscape of Maine to the white sand beaches of Key West, the trail of deception, theft, and murder will lead to a perilous confrontation.

The Stone Barrington Saga Continues

As you listen to this series, the reader envelopes you into Stone's life. The repeat characters become your friends, too. East listening.

Excellent, as usual

This was a decent story, despite recent criticisms of Woods' work. Looking forward to the next one!

Not Woods best

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

There are much better books in the series. This one would be a turn off, if you weren't already a Barrington fan.

Has Naked Greed turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, but disappointed.

Which scene was your favorite?

First meeting between Stone and Pepe

Did Naked Greed inspire you to do anything?

Be more selective. It never really had a pace, kind of dragged all through the book. Should have quit in 1st hour and contacted Audible for a refund.

Any additional comments?

Still a Stone Barrington fan, although this book had too much Dino.

Just Not as Good as Previous Installments

I believe that I recognize and appreciate this series for what it is and what it is not. While not great literature, Woods has developed great core characters, and diverting, if largely implausible, storylines that, for me, have been perfect for audio books. I bet I've listened to at least 20 of the books in this series, and I have been consistently entertained and satisfied. I am in short, a faithful purchaser and listener of the books in this series. But this installment and the immediately preceding installment have, for the first time, been lackluster and disappointing. Here's hoping the author gets back on key in the next instalment.

Loved it

same people I've come to love, excellent plot with twists and turns. Good stuff!

He does it again ><br />

I always enjoy Stone and his adventurers.
This book however lacks Stone as the centerpiece, instead we are seeing the criminals point of view. and Stone just seems like a bored rich boy enjoying sex with every woman he meets.
I still enjoyed the book ......

Typical stone.

Not literary excellence but a great listen in the car for the commute. Comfortable and easy to listen to. Long live Stone!

Naked Greed

This read was just OK, not as good as some other works by Woods. As always Patsy

Naked Greed-Great to fall asleep to!

What did you like best about Naked Greed? What did you like least?

The narration by Tony Roberts was wonderful. However, the story had too many characters and took too long to get the crux of the story. When it finally got to the climax of the story the ending was rushed in the last 5-7 chapters out of 59 chapters.

Would you recommend Naked Greed to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really, there are other books I would recommend. Such as anything written by Mary Higgins Clark!!

What about Tony Roberts’s performance did you like?

Tony Roberts' narration was excellent. He was able keep the characters' voices distinct and consistent throughout the book. His cadence during the narration was a nice speed for each of the characters.

Do you think Naked Greed needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the book was too long as it was.

Any additional comments?

I'm glad I bought this book with my Amazon coin & didn't pay for it.

Okay.

Although I waited eagerly for this book to come out., it was not as good as many of the other ones. There was a lot of sex and not a lot of real action. I am sure the next ones will be better as I love this series.
