I Love Stuart Woods and I enjoy the Teddy Fay series. It's nice not having all the sex going on like in the Stone Barrington books! Looking forward to more antics with Teddy. ( )

A local crime boss is seeking retribution against movie producer, Billy Barnett, having no idea he is trying to kill ex-CIA operative, Teddy Fay. Most of his wiseguys cannot find Barnett, and those that do are no match for his prodigious skills. Meanwhile, Bombshell Vivica is trying her best to smear Tessa Bachetti, who is her competition for Best Actress in the Academy Awards. However, she ends up being cast in a new Peter Barrington movie with her and they develop a friendship. Her overly protective ex-military boyfriend and a hitman decide the Awards ceremony is D-day. Pretty weak.

How come Stuart Woods doesn't know that it's been many years since the words "the winner is" were replaced by "the Oscar goes to"? ( )

A "clean" mystery by Stuart Woods, lol! I was very much entertained with this one, and Teddy Fay is a great character who wears many hats, once a spy .... ( )

I never knew that competition for the Oscars was so competitive…or so dangerous…but it has two Hollywood starlets considering murder. I first met Teddy Fay back when the Will Lee series first started and Teddy worked with the FBI in Washington D.C. and then came along Ed Eagle series and the Holly Baker series where Teddy was computer genius at gathering and secret information for the government. These were all excellent books that were action packed...short on wasted words and descriptions and could have been as long a series as the Stone Barrington series. So far Teddy Faye is a fascinating character and has far topped Stone Barrington although Stone does appear in almost every book thus far. By only making brief appearances I guess it gives Stone time to buy multi million dollar airplanes and plenty of time waiting for some random beautiful woman to ring his doorbell and want to go to bed him In the meantime Teddy can dodge the bullets…disarm all the bombs and kill all the bad guys that would like nothing more than to kill him. So far Teddy has proven to be a wonderful, believable hero. Hope this trend continues and there is as many books featuring Teddy as there are featuring Stone. ( )
