New York Dead

Stone Barrington, Book 1

By: Stuart Woods

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he’s too smart to be a cop, but it’s pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country’s hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.

No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.

Review

At first I didn't like this book. Wanted to return it. I gave it a chance. I always do. After two hour of it.I really liked it. If you like these kinds of books. You will be very happy with these books. The performance insist a good ask you think. He grows on you. Try it. You wont be disappointment. I just got the next book. Cheers!

overall good book

It was a good story, however there were a lot of less than smart moments that doesnt shine a good light on Stone. hope hes smarter in future books.

Some romantic sex-Great Mystery and clever Humor

Compelling plot and characters. Kept secrets to last hour or two. Some truly gruesome scenes.

Character Development

Misogynistic males who denigrate women make this book so inappropriate in every way. The book had good plot twists, but the sexual activities were those of depraved individuals.
