Synopsis

Someone is brutally killing the women in Stone Barrington's life -- his date, his secretary and his neighbor are murdered within 24 hours of each other. Stone, the New York lawyer-turned-investigator and his best friend, Dino, being their dangerous search for the killer. Stone falls suspect to the DA's office of being the killer himself. With the help of Dino's mafioso-type father-in-law, his beautiful daughter Dolce, and the keen eye of a doorman, Stone is able to capture the murderer, clear his good name and save the lives of the women he cares about.

About Stuart Woods

The American novelist hailing from Georgia, Stuart Woods, had a long and lustrous career in competition sailing. The interest, maybe obsession, with sailing began after he had spent time in London, then Ireland to write a novel about an old family story which he had heard as a child. He began putting together a crew for sailing competition shortly after he moved to Ireland.

It was in conjunction with a certain race, the MORCRA Azores Race and the OSTAR, Woods met with publishers to trade writing a book about his sailing experiences in return for sponsorship of the races. Golden Harp was launched in 1975, followed by Golden, Golden Apple, Golden Shamrock, Golden Delicious, and Harp.

Wood's novel, Blue Water. Green Skipper was published in 1977. His next book took a different turn and was based on his extensive travels around England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It was entitled, A Romantic's Guide to the Country Inns of Britain and Ireland. He then followed those two non-fiction books with several series of novels featuring recurring casts of characters and also with characters and their love interests, and frequent use of the New York restaurant Elaine's as a meeting place. Woods has published a memoir, a travel book, and forty-four novels in a thirty-seven year career.

Goodreads review by Joanne on February 10, 2021

This is a typical Stone Barrington novel. These novels are dated and they tend to suffer a little bit from that. Stone tends to fall into bed with which ever woman comes along (and in some books that is up to three women) and it gets tiresome. Other than that the novel is quite good. The mystery is......more
