As you know, I love the
Stone Barrington books by
Stuart Woods. Rip on them all you want, they are great fun. But
Severe Clear? This is good! I am only half way through the cd, but man....this story is really gripping. The Arrington is opening in Beverly Hills, named after Arrington Carter Barrington, of course and built on the site of the Calder home. It is going to be a MASSIVE grand opening deal! The presidents of the US and Mexico will be there, even. And so will some bad guys, trying to avenge the death of
Bin Laden. This book has suspense and humor and a great mystery. Stone and Dino haven't been in it too much, but Ben and Peter are there, Holly Barker, Felicity Devonshire, a little bit of Herbie Fisher. The President of the US is still Will Lee, his wife is the head of the CIA, so they are there, too. This is such a great book. I don't know if Woods is back to writing or if he has a great, new writer doing his stuff, but so far this book is great fun and great in general!
Dino and Stone have found a place to eat and hang. It was weird that the book didn't start out with "
Elaine's. Late." Now they are hanging at
Patroon and owner
Ken Aretsky makes an appearance, saying that Elaine told him to look out for Stone and Dino. I wonder if
Elaine really did tell Aretsky to look for Woods!
In the book there is a reference to an actress/singer who is so wonderful she is described as a combination
Meryl Streep and
Barbra Streisand. To me that equals
Judy! :)
Great book! Now that I've finished it, I can say it was great, cover to cover! Thanks, Stone!
This book was both
LA and
NYC, equal parts, so I will not count it!
