Title: Crooked Man
Review: Got new one! My friend, The Nave, referred this series to me as he knows of my lust for all things N’Awlins. Dunbar has created a classic Big Easy shyster, Tubby Dubonnet (you gotta love that, right)…and he is a pretty interesting character. I cannot really say the first book is all that well written (though I started the second and it seems quite an improvement)….but the characters are appropriately sleazy for the environment, the story is rich….and well…it’s N‘Awlins- and Dunbar clearly loves and portrays his home very, very well. It’s definitely got the vibe of this unforgettable place for anyone who has spent considerable time there…and has a rich look at its filthy history to boot. Definitely going to play this series out.
