Dead in the Water is a mystery thriller. It is the third chapter of the Stone Barrington novel series which is written by Stuart Woods. He is an American novelist who has got some really interesting novels to his name. One of his excellent action and adventure novel is Double Jeopardy which you must check out. It is also his D.C. Dead novel which promises a lot of entertainment.
The narration of this chapter is done by Tony Roberts. It was a bad narration with poor accents and inflections used by Tony Roberts. It was quite irritating to listen to the audio version of this book.
Stone Barrington is finally back. Stuart Woods has never created any better character than this ex-cop working as a detective. He was also a Manhattan attorney.
In this book, you will find Stone Barrington hardly arriving in St. Marks on a sailing vacation. Something really strange happened on this beautiful Caribbean Island. There was a pretty lady who sailed into the harbor, who was completely all alone in a big yacht. Soon, she was under the strict security of the local law and enforcement authorities. The problem here is that, she arrived all alone, but she departed from the other corner of the Atlantic Ocean along with her husband. Her husband was a renowned writer and there was no evidence that how he went missing.
It is a good book with a compelling detective story. It promise sot be that roller coaster ride which you really want to have in a good mystery thriller. The experience could have been a lot better in audio, if the book has been narrated by some better performer.
