Loitering with Intent

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Tony Roberts

In this action-packed thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods, Stone Barrington is on the hunt for a man who doesn’t want to be found in Key West...

Dumped by his glamorous Russian girlfriend during dinner at Elaine’s and running low on cash, Stone Barrington is not having a good week. So his luck seems to be improving when he’s hired to locate the missing son of a very wealthy man—lucky because the job pays well, and because the son seems to be hiding in the tropical paradise of Key West. But when Stone and his sometime running buddy Dino Bacchetti arrive in the sunny Keys, it appears that someone has been lying in wait. Stone very nearly loses his life after being blindsided at a local bar, and he realizes that the missing son he’s been hired to track may have good reason for not wanting to be found. Suddenly Key West is looking less like Margaritaville and more like the mean streets of New York...

Less than stellar...THIS time. Always a fan though

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It's Stone Barrington! I love the series just not the biggest fan of this particular adventure. Just thought it was a thin story line with repetitive chapters.

Has Loitering With Intent turned you off from other books in this genre?

oh NO not at all still a fan!

Which scene was your favorite?

Liked Key West and the beginning of the Adventure but it seemed rushed to wrap it up.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

probably not

Any additional comments?

I grew tired of the same conversations on the phone, it just seemed repetitive with not enough explanation for some scenes.

Great Story

Like the Stone Barrington character--a real page turner. The story had a lot of fast moving action, and the plot was not totally predictable. It is an entertaining audiobook.

A Good Read and A Fun Listen

Stuart Woods scores again with "Loitering With Intent". Tony Roberts makes the characters come to life. Unless you have really bad equipment to listen to the audiobook you are going to love it.

Loitering with Intent

Another great Stone Barrington story filled with intrigue. Florida Everglades and the Keys are the backdrop for this excellent story.

Predictably Entertaining

Once again Stone Barrington does not disappoint. While one can anticipate the ending, there is just enough drama to keep your interest.
