The story line is starting to be fun again and the characters are becoming interesting again and not just degenerate sex objects as they were being portrayed for a while. One of the things I always liked about Stuart Woods writing was his ability to carry off an entire story with one line action shots. He is a man that doesn't waste words on needless descriptions. Everyone is richer than God and everyone owns more than one multi-million dollar homes and cars and takes off for Paris or other worldly destinations at the drop of a hat without blinking an eye or counting their bank balance....but maybe that is the charm of these books. This one had a good mystery... a necklace with a bit of pre-war history and we were reacquainted with some old friends... Kate and Will Lee, Holly Barker and Ed Eagle...who all have series of their own. Glad to see that Stuart Woods is toning down the "lets fall in bed with the first person we meet" line and letting Stone and the other characters be more like their old selves that those of us that have read all or most of the 37 books had come to love.
