The Barrington Universe is the shared world that connects Stuart Woods’s major series. Over the course of more than 90 novels, characters from the Stone Barrington, Holly Barker, Ed Eagle, Will Lee, Teddy Fay, and Rick Barron series cross paths, share cases, and build relationships that span decades.
Stone Barrington sits at the center of this universe, but readers often find that the Holly Barker and Teddy Fay novels add depth to the overall picture. The Will Lee series provides political context, while the Ed Eagle books bring in legal drama from the Southwest. Reading in publication order across all series gives the fullest experience, though each individual series works on its own.
