Excellent. Amazes me how Woods can continue to come up with these clever story lines. Well written, kept me fooled until the end.

A fast paced murder mystery thriller about an amnesiac's struggle to avoid a murder conviction and to find the real killer.

This is the first book in the series featuring Ed Eagle. Very suspenseful.

Wow, some really awesome surprises in this book! Just when I thought, "Oh yeah, ____ did it!" I found out I was wrong and was right back to WTF? again. LOL...seriously, this one had me really thinking and trying to figure it out. I honestly can't say anything more without spoiling it for the next reader, so I'm gonna just say it was a great Who Done It book and be done with it.

An interesting story with some great twists, but I did not think it was as well-crafted as the other Stuart Woods stories I have read. Even though this is the first book in the Ed Eagle series, Wolf Willett (the client) plays a bigger role than Ed Eagle.

Back in the 1990s, I read several books by Woods and really enjoyed them but for some reason I put him aside. But after finding several of his books in one of my storage boxes, I decided to give him another try. SANTA FE RULES is the first book in his Ed Eagle series. The novel focuses on Wolf Willett, a successful Hollywood producer who reads about his own obituary in the New York Times while he was on a plane trip from his home in Santa Fe. The news story tells of a triple homicide of his wife, his best friend, and himself . . . all found shot to death, naked, in a bed in his guest room in Santa Fe. So who really was killed? And why did Wolf block out the day the murders happened? So Wolf is a suspect for the killings and employs the help of Ed Eagle, a high-paid criminal attorney in Santa Fe. Will Wolf with Eagle's help be able to clear his name of the murders and find the real killer?

I enjoyed this fast-paced story involving mistaken identity, greed, and murder. There was a good twist to the story but I did have most of it figured out well before the ending. I also thought the character development was very good and I liked Ed Eagle, however, I was a little disappointed when it was disclosed that Eagle was not Native American as most people in Santa Fe believed him to be. I look forward to reading more of this series and probably more of Woods other novels as well.

this is okay, however, it is written like a 14 yr old could read it. The characters are just 'too' polite and 'too' nice and almost just gushy sounding. The story is okay but it isn't exactly thrilling or suspenseful but it is an easy read for the beach or a rainy day. This new character is meant to sound like he is one tough lawyer but it just doesn't come off that way.

Interesting plot, sometimes bogged down by not too suble sexist attitudes and unbelievable reactions of characters to tradgedy. Fair reading, not his best.

As always good Stuart Woods book. I have read most of his books and this one did not disappoint me. I would recommend it to all. It is one of the Ed Eagle books, read them all.

WE have been in Florida for two months and will be heading home soon. It took awhile for the book to catch up with me but I finally received and enjoyed it very much. Stuart Woods is good, but not as good as Lee Child and other authors.
