Another well-done book by Stuart Woods even though the plot seems a bit contrived at times.
Typical Stone Barrington novel....fun and fast read
I should've read this one a long time ago when I thought Woods was a good author, however, I have grown tired of the puppet characters and the puppet dialogue, people don't talk like that in real life and if they do then they must be snobs.
It might be easier to stick with if it was only about 320 pages instead of 400+, too many sex scenes that are just ridculous and unnecessary.
Needless to say---I don't read Stuart Woods anymore

Excellent, fast moving, enjoyable reading
Awesome book! I always get caught up in Stuart Woods book! You will not regret reading this book! It has murder, suspense, romance and humor.
I enjoyed this book. I like how the story meanders about and at some points seem like a different novel all together but Woods, then brings the subplot and the main plot together. I have read another Woods books in the series that meandered to the point of unrecognizable. I enjoyed the characters in this book and am excited to continue this series.
I'm not sure if I'm going to read many more of these. The stories seem a little slow to me....we'll see.
A great read! Fast, keeps you on the edge of you seat with lots of surprises!
Stone Barrington is kept busy, both in and out of bed, trying to solve the mystery of who is publishing the scandle sheet "Dirt". Fast read.
Nothing Better than dirt just ask Amanda.
Great book in the Stone Barrington Series.
Under the whispers, secrets and scandal, theres nothing but DIRT....Amanda Hard a gossip columinst exposes all. A mesmerizing tale of betrayal, murder and tabloid terror.
A riveting story with a twist. Stuart Woods always tells a great tale.
Very good early Barrington novel, introduces Arrington, who we see alot in later books. Classic Stone Phillips style wit and intrigue.

Scandals, secrets, betrayal, murder and tabloid terror. What more could you want in a book?? A real page-turner..."brisk sex".."the action (is) quick and the entertainment value high." Meet Amanda Dart, gossip columnist who has made her share of enemies. Now the tables are turned and Amanda is the subject of faxes detailing her personal and private peccadilloes.

I was not familiar with the writings of Woods and found this story to be a bit on the risqué side BUT the more I got into the story and characters it became a funny but tragic story.
As some of the media critics wrote; "Dirty Fun" and "Delightfully Nasty".
I must now find more of his books.
