Summary: Grabs you at the first and doesn't let go.
Review: A story that makes you wonder if you are awake or having a nightmare.. A wonderful story told only as Stuart Woods could tell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pageturner for sure!
Review: I brought this book along with me to read during an originally short plane trip. I started reading it on the way home and after two planes and a 5 hour delay in the middle, I easily finished this book in one day. This was a great book to have with me because it was really a page turner and helped to quickly pass the time. One thing I think Stuart Woods does well is put several twists into his books which made me look up and say "No way!" throughout this book.

The main character is Wolf Willet who we get to know in the start as a guy who likes his routine and has made a large amount of money in the entertainment business. In the beginning he flies from Sante Fe on his way to LA and has plane troubles and lands near the Grand Canyon. He reads the NY Times headline which says that his wife, his best friend, and him are found shot dead at his home in a guest bedroom. Through the entire rest of the book, Wolf continues to find out who the killer and the dead people really are. You are introduced to many characters who you consistently question...who do you really trust?

This was a great mystery by Stuart Woods and I would definately recommend it to anyone!

Summary: A Must-Read Novel!!
Review: I could not put this book down, it was so intriguing. Not only was it fast-paced, but it had an unusual and different story line, and that's what I liked the most; something different for a change. At the beginning of the novel, the murders take place and from then on, you haven't a clue as to who the killer is, even though you suspect the main character, as does the police and the district attorney. However, it's not until the end of the book, the very end, that you find out who the killer is, and it will just give you the shock of your life!!! It was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes murder mysteries.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: I started this book in school during required reading time in English, by the end of the day i had finished the book. Woods keeps you on your toes the whole time while leaving you wanting to find out what happens next. Reading this book was some of the most enjoyable reading I have had. I cannot recommend this book enough to people.

Summary: One of Mr. Woods"s best works!
Review: I went to college in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have always wanted to go back. Stuart Woods took me there and made me feel the flavor of the South West

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: TALES FOR A JEWISH INDIAN
Review: One of the strangest nuances of this book is Ed Eagle, who everyone seems to think is a Native American, but as we learn later, he is really a Jew and was accepted as an Indian because of his basketball prowess. Okay, Mr. Woods, that's original. Too bad the rest of the novel isn't quite so fresh; but indeed SANTA FE RULES manages to weave an involving, if somewhat hard to believe tale.
Anyone who's read a great deal of mystery novels will see the truth in this novel very early on. Woods does manage to throw in a neat twist at the end, but it only enhances what an astute reader will have already figured out.
Woods writes like a screenwriter; much of his narrative would transfer well to the big screen. A little faster pacing would have enhanced the book as well. But if you're in the mood for a superflous but highly entertaining read, SANTA FE RULES delivers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A South-Western Success!
Review: This is one of my favorite Stuart Woods' novels. I found it at a local used bookstore and decided to try it. This was my second novel by Stuart Woods and I feel, one of his best. Mr. Woods studied and described the atmosphere and terrain of the south-west in great detail, which was enjoyable. Another winner for Stuart Woods.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh Come On
Review: Very disappointing. Stuart Woods can be very good. That's why I read him. Chiefs, Grass Roots, and Run Before the Wind were excellent. Other books have not been so wonderful and this was one of them. I kept finding myself saying, "Oh come on" way too many times during this book. Wolf doesn't seem to have a conscience, and I found it hard to find any redeeming qualities in him. This book was just too slick, and the characters way too shallow. Your wife is just killed, so you fly off to L.A. to finish a script? You start an affair? What's missing from this picture?
