Fast Read

Although I love Stuart Wood's Stone Barrington novels, I must admit that once in awhile I like to read his other books that are based on different characters. This book was one of the fastest, most thrilling books I have read in a long time. It focuses on Liz who is nearly beaten and raped to death by her husband who happens to be a famous football player who is drugged out on steroid and drugs. This books gives a creepy description of what steroids can do to an average person. Anyways, Liz escapes to Cumberland Island in order to get away from her vengeful ex-husband. On this island she gets involved with the Drummond family who have a few skeletons in their closet. As if that is not enough, Liz's husband is on the rampage looking for her to kill her. Will he find her? What is the secret between the Drummond twins, Hamish and Keir? Read this book and you will find out.
Truly unforgettable story, Woods at his best! A must read!

There is so much that kept me up late at night reading this book. Liz is a heroine anyone could relate to. We root for her in her starting a new life on this remote romantic island, an unforgettable love story soon takes place. If you enjoyed this book, read Mary Higgins Clark's "A Cry In The Night", another excellent book with the psycho husband theme!
One of my favorites

I am a big Stuart Woods fan. I read this book in one day I couldn't put it down. The plot keeps you guessing and the ending is great! I would definately recommend this for anyone wanting a little mystery, suspense, and romance.
A Great Book!!!

This one has it all. Mystery, susspense,and of coarse murder. A memorable story that keeps you turning pages to read what happens next. The story takes little twists and turns,and just when you think you've figured it out. Woods gives you another little nugget of information that keeps you guessing until the end. I have read almost every book Woods has put out and none of them have been disappointing. This one is no exception!
My Favorite Stuart Woods Novel!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This was the first Stuart Woods novel I read, and it remains my favorite. I have read all of them up through Dead In The Water. I've suggested Palindrome to many friends looking for a good read. The feedback has always been very positive. This book has been resposible for quite a few avid Stuart Woods fans being born.
