By: Stuart Woods

Publisher's summary

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.

Good story; Great storyteller.

Great narration by Mr. Roberts as usual. He is fantastic. If I did not love love love the relationship between Stone and Dino, I would seriously reconsider reading the next volume because I am starting feel taken advantage of by the Author and the publisher. Each new novel released increasingly seems like a small part of much larger more complete storyline. In other words, we are all being charged 3 times for what should have been one novel.

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.

Boring and disappointing

What disappointed you about Naked Greed?

Not much going on with the main characters, mostly on the mob, very boring…

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

Yes, he's fine it's the story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

I want a refund.

Dull and duller! Save your credit!

Don't waste your credit! This was "hands down" the worst of the series. I have read most of them and this was a BIG disappointment.

Dump

What disappointed you about Naked Greed?

Unbelievable story, poor technical advice,and boring. Waste of time and money.

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

No.

Would you be willing to try another one of Tony Roberts’s performances?

Yes.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, but not many.

Done with Stone Barrington books

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

not sure

What do you think your next listen will be?

Ace Atkins' Broken Places

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

After a while some of the characters started to sounds alike. I usually like Tony Roberts, but this was not his best performance.

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 ......

Entertaining

A good addition to Stone and friends. A nice follow on to the series. Enjoyable.

Naked Greed

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

Great book

Another great Stone Barrington book to help me as I travel all over three states.
