The quality of the Stone Barrington novels by Stuart Woods continues to go downhill. These books are a nice way to pass the time on a cross country flight but they really have become hugely "formulamatic". Stone and Dino eat a Elaine's, an old client/character is somehow always involved, Stone hooks up with an old flame but his eyes are always wandering, he and his partner end up "exhausted and sweaty" and "sleep til noon. Helene send up breakfast in the dumbwaiter", etc., etc., etc. It seems that Mr. Woods was up against a publisher's deadline since the entire plot gets wrapped up in about 2 pages at the end. A disappointing read. Mr. Woods should consider writing one or two good books per year vs. pumping out three or four repetitive, predictable and boring reads.Get more detail about Lucid Intervals (Stone Barrington).
