Nothing better than an adventure with Stone Barrington and all his fabulous wealthy and famous friends!

A long time, very wealthy and well known client has a past that must be kept hidden or he and his family will be ruined. He has gone to great lengths to keep his past from being discovered with only three of his current friends aware of who he once was. Unfortunately, an unsavory character from his gang past recognizes him, and sets out to confirm what suspects.

He and other gang members put together a series of schemes to recoup what they believe was stolen from them. And, since the target of these various schemes is Stone’s client, he and his best friend, New York City Police Commissioner Dino end up in the thick of things. Fist fights, ambushes, and gun fights follow all mixed in among Bentleys, private jets and fancy formal parties in England.

A fun easy read.

Jack Coulter, an old friend/client, asks Stone for assistance is helping his niece get settled in NYC. Sara is in need of divorce advice and real estate guidance. Stone knows just the lawyer at Woodman & Weld to handle the divorce and a young associate to help in getting her settled in the city. What they don't foresee is that there is someone else interested in Sara's marriage/divorce/dating situations. To add another layer (or two), someone recognizes Jack from his past colorful life which endangers many in his immediate circle.
Stone and Dino with their connections at Strategic Services get involved to discover who is behind these threats.
A fast-paced plot with strong and entertaining characters, Finders Keepers is another great installment in this series.
Thanks to Penguin Group Putnam, Brett Battles and NetGalley for this ARC.

Brett Battles has done it once more~written a practically perfect Stuart Woods story with our perennial love & monied Stone Barrington.
Honestly, who does not adore Stone and his cohorts? From start to finish we are meeting new and welcoming old friends of the handsome
debonair miilionaire. The people he helps are victorious in being rescued, while the gang continue to jet abroad to their nicer home, the
new hotel, and their lovely getaways are just such fun to read about. I only am sad the book is not longer, but each situation was so well
wrapped up that we really must wait for the next offering.
My thanks to J.P. Putnam’s Sons for the download of this book for review purposes.

This is a good addition to the Stuart Woods series. It is a fast enjoyable book with enough plot twists to keep you entertained. I look forward to the next book in this series. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

“Finders Keepers” by Brett Battles is another clever and exciting addition to the Stone Barrington series. Our favorite super wealthy attorney has lunch with a mobster client who has altered his appearance to match his new “straight” life. He is recognized by his past associates who feel they are still owed millions. These gangsters begin to target the mobsters family, Stone and Stone’s loyal sidekicks to ensure collection. As the complex mystery enfolds we are entertained by the unexpected twists, Stones extravagant lifestyle, and his fantastic sense of humor. A quick and entertaining read!

Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Battles continues the Stone Barrington series with another jewel in the crown.
Stone is busy trying to track down the person trying to collect millions from his old
friend and former mobster, Jack Coulter, by targeting his family with arranged accidents.
Great collection of his usual sidekicks and a storyline that grabs you and holds you from start to finish.
As always, Stone Barrington is fabulously entertaining with his "oh so over the top" extravagant lifestyle
and friends in high places.
Really fun and totally neutral read, as usual.
No subliminal message attempting to creep into your unsuspected mibd.
Just a really good read.

this was a pretty good read! I think it was a bit predictable and had some unrealistic things going on. I liked the way the story flowed, ad how the storyline progressed. It was an entertaining read

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Brett Battles has again stepped into the shoes of Stuart Woods bringing back Stone Barrington and his cast of characters in “Finders Keepers”. While having lunch with a client that has a shady past, the client is recognized by a former colleague. This client has also requested that Stone assist his niece, a new resident to New York City get settled. Thus starts this romp in the spirit of Woods writing. The one thing that differed from the Woods is that this novel had several different story lines that all culminated in an action filled conclusion. There is also emphasis on the shady characters in the book. New author, Brett Battles is combining his writing style while maintaining the style of Stuart woods. This is fast reading and a pleasurable read. If you are a Stuart Woods fan, this novel will not disappoint.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review an early release of this book..

Another fun romp with our favorite wealthy New York attorney Stone Barrington and company. This series has been a guilty pleasure since New York Dead and even after loosing Stuart's guiding hand it's still a pleasure to catch up with our old friends and discover new adventures for them to get into. I'm old enough now that many of the authors I loved in my earlier years have now passed and I've been able to see how other fans interpret their characters, and Brett has definitely rang true to what we've come to expect in these novels. I would even venture to say his books show more complexity and an ability to keep a lot of balls in the air at once. Just as Stuart Woods work evolved over time, I'm curious to discover how these wonderful characters will develop from here.
These books are a very quick read, and if you're not careful the sun will be coming up just as you finish what you couldn't put down. I continue to look forward to more and can't wait to read it when it's ready!

Stone Barrington is caught in the lethal crossfire between a dear friend and a secret enemy from his past. After attending an Arrington properties meeting at the group’s newest location, The Vineyard Arrington on Martha's Vineyard, Stone Barrington returns to New York City to catch up with his old friend Jack Coulter. Over lunch, Jack requests Stone’s help in settling his niece Sara into city life post-divorce. Always one to please, Stone takes Sara under his wing! Oooooh great read!! I loved the characters in this book! It had great suspense, mystery, murder, gaslighting, intriguing, action, fantastic characters and a few wild twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Brett Battles did a great job with Stuart Woods’ Finders Keepers. This was a great way to honor Stuart.

Stone and Dino are the main characters in this book along with various of his usual friends. Of course he’s met a new woman and helping out a new client. He goes to dinners and there’s several time people are beaten up, all par for the course with this series. It’s a good book!

Fun has returned to the newest Stone Barrington adventure! Instead of doing a tour of his many homes, this seems like a mature start for future novels. Stone has an appropriate woman in his life, a client is faced with his past and Barrington is involved in a serious case of multiple misidentifications and confusion.

I enjoyed this one and look forward to watching the gang deal with more in the future. Thank you Netgalley for this fun ride.
