Stone Stone Stone. We know how he is and he's still the same in this book. HOWEVER, I did enjoy this story line more than the past couple of books. Stone and Dino are the same as they always are, but this plot was a bit better than the last few.

2 stars---tried to struggled through this one but finally just had to give it up, although I like the characters this one seemed to be so stiff, the language is stilted, I don't think anyone talks like that, and the story was just too lame and uninteresting and on the boring side

Another typical Stone Barrington story. Mildly interesting, but nothing of consequence. Maybe if Stone ever got to Elaine's "early"....... A decent "guilty pleasure", like the average James Patterson book.
If you are a long-time fan of Stone Barrington and enjoy his adventures you can give "Bel Air Dead" a pass. Stone is basically a narrator and lawyer for the active characters in this ho-hum snoozer. He doesn't really do much to solve mysteries or outwit his opponents mostly he reacts to what the other characters are doing. I think the main purpose of this book was to transition Stone from a hard-working, clever crime solver into a rich, lazy libertine able to enjoy the finer things in life. If you like reading about lifestyles of the rich and famous then this book is for you.
One of the best books he has written. Would recommend to anyone.
