The reviews on amazon for D.C. Dead were terrible. I'm not saying this book is any more than what I always say the Stone Barrington books are: Private and Privilege for adults, but a lot of the reviews claim that Woods' books have gone down hill. I actually don't remember them being any better than they are now. I started reading them maybe twenty years ago, so maybe I am just forgetting, but to me, they were all was just candy, guilty-pleasure fantasy. When were they more than that? Sure, Chiefs was awesome, I read that when I was twelve or thirteen and loved it, but that was the last time I remember thinking, "Man, Stuart Woods, what a good book you wrote!"
In this installment, there's plenty of Dino and a decent amount of Holly Baker, and a touch of the ever-annoying Lance Cabot. I was sad that there weren't any appearances by Dino's son and Stone's son. I hope they get their own series, too.
Holly calls Dino and Stone to D.C. to investigate a year-old murder suicide. There's a lot of bad behavior, high-end food and hotels, and the usual cheese. Pretty stand Woods and I'm looking forward to the next package!
