About this listen

After a shocking loss, Stone Barrington is at loose ends, unsure if he wants to stay in New York and continue his work as a partner at Woodman & Weld. It comes as a welcome relief when he's summoned to Washington, D.C., by President Will Lee. The president has a special operation that calls for Stone's unique skill set, and it's a mission that will reunite him with his former partner in crime and in bed, Holly Barker.

Would you try another book from Stuart Woods and/or Tony Roberts?

Have loved and listend to many (if not all) of the Woods / Roberts team.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

That Stone was back to being Stone after the Son of Stone diversion, which I did like.

Have you listened to any of Tony Roberts???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Equal ... Tony is very consistent.

Was D.C. Dead worth the listening time?

At less than10 hours, yes.

Any additional comments?

Was glad to see Stuart Woods back to the Stone of old, however this iteration did seem to drag a bit. Bringing Holly Barker and Teddy Faye back in for a parallel plot served only to continue the viability of their characters beyond DC Dead for possible (indeed probable) future inclusion into the Stone Barrington storyline.

Typical Stone Barrington ...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Stone Barrington et al provide the expected humor, plot twists and suspense that we expect from this Stuart Woods series.

What did you like best about this story?

The story line began on the same day that Son of Stone ended! Surprised me but is cool!

What does Tony Roberts bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is so versatile!

Excellent Read

I have been reading all of Stuart Woods' books for year and the last two seem very thin and hard to believe. Nothing close to the real world.

He had all of his characters in this one, the President, Will Lee and his wife, the CIA director, Holly Barker, Teddy Fay and still, not very exciting and not at all believable,

Spoiler alert! The guy was investigating murders and slept with all of the suspects. Except for one and Dino slept with her. The character is a pig, And supposedly Holly Barker didn't care. Really?

Go back and read some of the earlier books with Will Lee. There was a lot more going on.

I have to say, the highlight was Tony Roberts.

Another wild trip for Stone and Dino

great great great!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Stone

Have you listened to any of Tony Roberts???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Very good, not great.

Where does D.C. Dead rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Difficult to say. I love all the Stuart Woods books. Near the top of my ratings.

What was one of the most memorable moments of D.C. Dead?

Guessing who the killer was, before the book had it worked out.

What does Tony Roberts bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His vocal portrayal of the characters give a visual image of them. I listen in the car. I drive about 10 hours a week. I could never read all the books that I listen to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction, just a good read (listen?)

Serial killer loose in Washington, D.C.D
