L.A. DEAD

Ed Eagle has problems. His ex-wife, Barbara, was found not guilty of trying to kill him (and a few other people) and she's on the loose again. Barbara is a schemer and soon she has her hooks in another wealthy man. It's not enough, though, to keep her from wanting to get her revenge on Ed Eagle. Ed in the meantime, finds himself caught up in a very interesting case. A new client calls from Rome to say that his wife has received death threats and he wants Ed to check it out.

I have read quite a few of Stuart Woods other books featuring Stone Barrington and Holly Barker. Ed Eagle made a fairly interesting main character, although he is not as warm and endearing as Stone Barrington. The story was good and kept the reader engaged but it was hard to have much compassion for the characters. I listened to this on tape and sometimes, it was hard to keep all the characters, especially the various policemen straight.

Rating - 3.75 stars
