Hired to prove infidelity in an heiress's marriage, Stone Barrington goes undercover. But the work turns dirty-and catastrophic-when the errant husband is found dead and the other woman disappears without a trace. Now, Stone must clear his own good name and find a killer hiding among the glitterati of New York's high society. Enter Carpenter-the beautiful British intelligence agent first encountered in The Short Forever-who has arrived in New York to begin an investigation of her own. Stone suspects that her case is strangely connected to the dead husband. And he and Dino, his former NYPD partner, are set to face the most bizarre and challenging assignment of their very colorful careers.

Intriguing

Stuart Woods writes very well and it's always a pleasure to read his work. This was especially interesting. My husband loves his books as well.

I've sometimes wondered about

Stone Barrington's soul. I've read most of the books in this series, and sometimes, Stone decisions are right on the ethical/moral edge; especially the ones dealing with Arrington, the love of his life.

However, in DIRTY WORK, Stone's sense of right and wrong shows up early and stays through the last line. I loved the contrast between Felicity Carpenter's English approach and Stone's ethically correct rationale in dealing with a deadly and very smart assassin.

No spoilers here, but the ending was rather sad to me. However, Stone's moral compass was not bent or broken and it will live to serve him again.

Good riddance to Ms. Carpenter. Hope she stays on her side of the pond. :)

Than you, Mr. Woods, for diving below the surface.

Enjoy!

Entertaining and kept me turning pages.

Somehow I missed this book in the Stone Barrington series, so I checked it out from the library. Even though this is the 5th or 6th book, I was still able to read it and not feel I missed anything in the series. I think that's a tribute to the author. In my opinion this was an easy, entertaining read, but it still kept me turning the pages. I found that Stone Barrington is back in NYC. My only problem with the story was that about midway the story got a little boring when "La Biche" kept changing her identity and it was hard to keep up on who she was at that moment. Overall it was an excellent, and not a serious read but still entertaining. Enjoy.

Great book, terrible reader!

Robert Lawrence is a horrid reader for the Stone Barrington series. His British accents are laughable, and he makes all of his characters (especially Dino, Stone's best friend) sound like morons. He even makes Stone, himself, sound like an unsophisticated jerk. I was very disappointed.
