Summary: Orchid Beach
Comment: When I learned that the new Stone Barrington novel was to feature Holly Barker, chief of police in Orchid Beach, Florida, I thought I'd get to know her by reading the first book in her series by Stuart Woods. Holly Barker is forced into early retirement from the Army after a nasty sexual harassment case. Chet Marley, chief of police in Orchid Beach, offers Holly a job as his deputy chief of police. On her first day on the job, Holly learns that Marley had been shot the night before and was in a coma. She also finds out that Marley's best friend, Hank Doherty, had been killed the same night. Holly adopts Doherty's Doberman, Daisy. She suspects that someone on the force knows about the shootings, but she isn't sure who knows. As she investigates, she is led to Palmetto Gardens, a very exclusive and rich piece of property in Orchid Beach. It is gated with extremely tight security. With the help of the FBI, her father Hamilton, and her lover Jackson Oxenhandler, Holly gets the answers to her questions. I enjoyed this book. Stuart Woods writes page turners, and "Orchid Beach" will keep the reader turning pages.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!!!
Comment: I was up all night reading this book! I am a big Detective novel buff and this book filled my need for mystery. I found the dog Daisy to be a wonderful bonus character. Although, I did think that the book began to move a little fast once the FBI became involved. The whole focus of Holly's investigation into the Cheif's murder became a little unfocused. And I found it a little hard to believe that Ham, Holly's military father, just decided to retire and move to Orchid Beach to help.....a far stretch. But, over all I enjoyed the novel and can't wait to read more of Stuart Wood's work!

Summary: quick paced read..
Comment: this is my first stewart woods book..and I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it. The dialogue flows pretty easily and the pacing was very fast. I read the book in a couple of days. Good action and plenty of twists and turns that I didn't see comming from start to finish.
Definetly worth a look for anyone who's a fan of good crime/mystery novels. I'll definetly be reading Woods' other works!
