In the newest addition to the bestselling series, Stone Barrington and Holly Barker pursue a master spy and murderer in a tropical paradise where very little is as it seems

Quick read, typical of the more recent books in this series

Stone Barrington joins forces with Holly Barker to help run down a criminal mastermind who is driving the CIA crazy. In the process of tracking this criminal down, Stone, Dino and Holly find themselves back on St. Marks (which Stone previously visited in Dead in the Water: A Novel). However, behind the beautiful scenery and the tourist attractions, there are also to be found more than a few American expatriates with something to hide, as well as a corrupt system of politicians that are running the place. As they stalk their prey, they find that more than one person on St. Marks has a reason to want to hide - and that maybe the person they are seeking is right in front of them.

It seems rather ludicrous to call this one a Stone Barrington novel, as it features Holly Barker just as much. I think it is probably time for Woods to stop writing individual stories and just go with the melding of all his worlds into one. However, this is a nice book for a quick read - a good book to read on a plane, or while sitting on a lovely sunny beach. It's brain candy, but it doesn't taste too bad.

Shallowly entertaining read despite errors.....

This was by no means his best work but it was passable. I would rate it a solid passing C grade. I was disappointed though to see so many errors. There is a scene where Irene is in the restaurant and calls "Ginny" Holly before she found out who Ginny was. And other errors like that.

And it read more like a chapter book instead of a novel. Quick, short and in between with no real beginning or end. Perfect for a by the pool/at the beach read....
