Summary: NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS FINE READ!!
Review: Stuart Woods, Stuart Woods, you KNOW this book was good!!! This was only my second book by him, Santa Fe Rules being the first, and you know what? I could not believe that this was the same author. You know the feeling you get when you read a book by a particular author and as you read another by this author, they seem so similar, and then the third and so on? Not this way with Stuart Woods. Santa Fe Rules was good but Imperfect Stangers just takes the cake. I could not put this book down. When you read this book, you are going to find yourself talking out loud, giving advice to the victims/murderer, but don't feel bad, just keep on going. Get this book today; it is a must-read!!! Feel free to e-mail me

Summary: Great beach book
Review: The book lives up to its billing as the first great beach book of the season. It's a light, quick read with a fun -- but not funny --plot. (I must admit I've never seen Strangers on a Train to know if it lives up to the movie that inspired it). This is only my second Stuart Woods novel -- I look forward to reading more.

Summary: Edge of your seat who done it ????
Review: This truly was an 'easy read.' There was suspense but I wouldn't call that the reason for not putting the book down. The story does develop with an interesting twist. I would have been interested to read of a strong moral problem for Sandy when thinking of his own responsibility in the murder. There doesn't seem to be much angst over any of the deaths in the story. The characters just were not intense. The story did flow easily from one premise to another. I believe that probably is what makes the book so difficult put down. I do plan to read another of his stories just to compare the two books.

Summary: Retread of classic Hitchcock
Review: Woods makes no secret of his inspiration for Perfect Strangers and namechecks the classic Hitchcock movie Strangers on A Train in chapter 2.
The basic premise is identical-two strangers plot to "exchange murders".Alexander Kinsolving runs the wine division of the family liquor company and meets Peter Martindale,an expatriate Brit on a plane from London to New York having been summoned home following a stroke suffered by the nonagenerian patriarch of the family.He fears being pushed aside in the resulting restructuring of the business and divorce proceedings are imminent his wife being ready to sell the wine division to a competitor.Martindale,a gallery owner in Frisco wishes to see his wife killed and secure her personal assets.
Kinsolving reneges on the deal after trying to contact his associate but Martindale carries out the murder of Kinsolving's wife and insists that Kinsolving carry out his part of the bargain.Things get massively complicated when Martindale's wife turns out to be Kinsolvings new lover.Things move to a somewhat perfuntory climax on Alcatraz
The book moves briskly but lacks originality of plot and the prose while économical and brisk is flavourless.
It will serve as a light holiday read but will not linger long in the mind.The book is not helped by Kinsolving -its nominal hero-being a bit of a prig and as usual in these things the villain is altogether a more interesting figure. Chewing gum for the eyes and OK on this level
