Cold Paradise (Stone Barrington)

Cold Paradise (Stone Barrington) Review

I guess I have to give this one 4 stars, I really can't see any reason not too. Did it blow me away, no. Did it keep me wanting to read more, were the characters great, was the ending worth reading the book...definitely! I want to read more of the Stone B. novels, but now want to start with the first one which is New York Dead. If you haven't read others though, this one is a great place to start. There are some past relationships mentioned that you'll figure out after a while, but other than that the author doesn't assume you know anything about the main character from previous books. Good read.

Cold Paradise (Stone Barrington) Overview

Palm Beach is the most glamorous scene-of-the-crime yet for cop-turned-investigator Stone Barrington, who becomes reacquainted with a case he thought was buried years ago-and must settle romantic entanglements that haunt him still...

"A delightful tale of sex and violence...'Sopranos'-style...slick, sophisticated fun." (Washington Post)

"Roller-coaster plotting." (Denver Post)

"Woods delivers his most riveting and glamorous Barrington novel yet." (Press Journal, Vero Beach, FL)

Cold Paradise (Stone Barrington) Specifications

Suave, sophisticated Stone Barrington is a hero destined for the big screen. (Since Cary Grant is dead, Stone will have to be played by Bruce Willis, if he can keep his smirk under control.) He's certainly got the trappings: the Armani tuxedo too well-tailored to reveal the gun beneath the drape, the sexy sports cars, the beautiful women who never fail to throw themselves at him, the confident familiarity with a complicated wine list or French menu. And he's got friends in high places, which helps when you're looking for a beautiful woman who made a big impression on the slightly nerdy but nice software billionaire who hires Barrington to find her.

Between bedding the billionaire's chef in Palm Beach, hiding from the homicidal Mafia princess he almost married in Italy, and playing games with a Hollywood beauty whose young son may or may not be his very own child, Stone hardly has time to do the job he's been hired for. But when he does, he discovers that the object of his search is still another ex-lover, a woman he thought had been executed on a Caribbean island three years ago. All these women, and all these adventures, plus Stone's old pal Dino, a New York cop, will be familiar to readers of Woods's other Stone Barrington thrillers. This one has Woods's trademark narrative punch, solid pacing, and glossy, brand-name panache. If Judith Krantz wrote thrillers, this is what she'd turn out. But don't let that stop you. Cold Paradise is the perfect book for a hot day in the hammock or a long plane ride to a ritzy resort destination. The only real surprise is why Stone Barrington hasn't made it to the big (or small) screen yet. --Jane Adams
