Death of Stuart Woods
Novelist Stuart Woods died on July 22 of this year. He was one of my favorite writers, and I read everything that he published. Stone Barrington, his attorney protagonist, used wits and gumption to outmaneuver gangsters, spies, and jealous husbands as he bounced from country to country in his private jet plane and rescued beautiful women, some of whom proved to be less than scrupulous. I enjoyed best Run Before the Wind, the story of a young man who drops out of law school and travels to Ireland to visit family and ends up sailing alone across the Atlantic. His books were fun and easy to read. Millions of readers will miss him.
