Typical Stone Barrington ...

Would you try another book from Stuart Woods and/or Tony Roberts?

Have loved and listend to many (if not all) of the Woods / Roberts team.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

That Stone was back to being Stone after the Son of Stone diversion, which I did like.

Have you listened to any of Tony Roberts???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Equal ... Tony is very consistent.

Was D.C. Dead worth the listening time?

At less than10 hours, yes.

Any additional comments?

Was glad to see Stuart Woods back to the Stone of old, however this iteration did seem to drag a bit. Bringing Holly Barker and Teddy Faye back in for a parallel plot served only to continue the viability of their characters beyond DC Dead for possible (indeed probable) future inclusion into the Stone Barrington storyline.

Excellent Read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Stone Barrington et al provide the expected humor, plot twists and suspense that we expect from this Stuart Woods series.

What did you like best about this story?

The story line began on the same day that Son of Stone ended! Surprised me but is cool!

What does Tony Roberts bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is so versatile!

Getting a little hard to believe

I have been reading all of Stuart Woods' books for year and the last two seem very thin and hard to believe. Nothing close to the real world.

He had all of his characters in this one, the President, Will Lee and his wife, the CIA director, Holly Barker, Teddy Fay and still, not very exciting and not at all believable,

Spoiler alert! The guy was investigating murders and slept with all of the suspects. Except for one and Dino slept with her. The character is a pig, And supposedly Holly Barker didn't care. Really?

Go back and read some of the earlier books with Will Lee. There was a lot more going on.

I have to say, the highlight was Tony Roberts.

Another wild trip for Stone and Dino

Another exciting book. Stone and Dino can always seem to get themselves into some kind of trouble.

Great Books to Listen While we Drive!

If you could sum up D.C. Dead in three words, what would they be?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Stone

Have you listened to any of Tony Roberts???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
