Format:Mass Market Paperback
Stuart Woods reunites us with Stone Barrington. Okay, so the guy is a cad, but he is fun to be with. And he cheats on his girlfriend. He knows it is wrong, but where is this supposed love of his life? Rushing to meet him on this romantic holiday? NO! He might as well enjoy it as he intended. I find Stuart Woods extremely entertaining and an easy read. He gets to the point and you dont want to put the book down nor skip paragraphs of techno-babble. I wait with baited breath to read "Swimming to Catalina."

This is my first Stuart Woods book I have read. I was a little put off at the relationship between Stone and Allision. I found it to be unrealistic. Because of this relationship I was convinced in her guilt. I found that there were moments in the when I was in total shock. I will definetly read another of his books. All in all, it was a thrilling story

Great read!!!
My first Stuart Woods book....not disappointed though.
Good story line. Character development was outstanding. He did a marvelous job of explaining all the in's and out's of the legal system in another country. Outstanding.
The ending was really a surprise. I didn't expect it!!!
I'll read more Stuart Woods.

Unbelieveably bad, unbelievable plot.
A friend at work recommended Stuart Woods and lent me this book. What a disappointment! The plot is so far fetched and riduculous, I lost interest midway through the book. Read more

Did she do it? Or didn't she?
A beautiful wife charged with murder with no body, witness or evidence. A country where you are presumed guilty. Corrupt officials. And of course sex. Read more

Great location, action-packed, excellent plot!
My first time with author Stuart Woods, but not my last if the other books he's written are as outstanding as Dead in the Water. Read more

A continuation of an enjoyable character.
Mr. Woods continues to be of interest with DITW. Not brain surgery, but then why buy a book that doesn't deliver what is promised - entertainment by a very good writer. Read more
