I have read all the new S.B. series in the past two or three years. It was unnecessary to start from the beginning, many of the later books covered Stone's past both personal and career but I thought it would be fun to get into the details. Really enjoyed it. ( ![]() It was a good, quick, mystery, but I'm not sure I would read the author again unless I was on a long flight and needed some filler (that was oddly specific lol) Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luckthat places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness he horrifying incident hat turns his life inside out. Suddenly he's on the front page of every newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nejinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman. This series piqued my curiosity when I saw someone's status about it and I remembered it was recommended to me some time ago. When I saw the library had the 1st in the series, I thought I'd give it a go. I don't think this is a series I'll be binging on. While I love my police procedurals, this was a little too fluff for me. I need more plot and there was just too much romance and a little too much fluff. This is the same issue I've had with [author:Evanovich, Janet|14285576]'s series. I don't need heavy crime, but I need a story that I want to solve. It didn't help that I didn't care much for stone or his lady friend. That said, I found myself stuck into the story today because I wanted to know how it was going to end. I also liked the landmarks of NYC past -- including Elaine's. RIP. One technical issue-there was no passage of time marked so it was hard to know where in time the chapters were relative to previous ones. I'm not sure whether this is an ebook bug or issue in all editions. Fast, easy read. Nothing complicated. After the victim turns out to be a society climber with aspirations on news anchor, I was afraid that it would be one of those conspiracies built around hoidy-toidy New York society and that Sherlock Holmes would appear with a briar and a funny hat. But it turned out to be a reasonable cop drama. Not everyone is portrayed in a good light but that adds to the drama in it. It was light and fun; think I'll try another.
