Review
Praise For Stuart Woods
Short Straw Woods keeps [his characters] moving smartly around the playing board like so many checkers . . . .
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A taut tale of a very bad woman out to fleece a very good man. . . . Scarcely an excess word gets in the way of the briskly moving plot.
