โฆ Synopsis
A casino, a cast of shady characters, a body floating in cooking oil๏ฟฝCity of Beads makes canny use of everything the seamy side of New Orleans has to offer. As usual, quasi-honest lawyer Tubby Dubonnet juggles several cases, which author Tony Dunbar deftly braids into a single twisty narrative boasting plenty of action, both comic and brutal. The second in a popular mystery series that pulls off the clever trick of being funny and noir at the same time, CITY OF BEADS, like its predecessor, CROOKED MAN, will delight cozy and hard-boiled audiences alike๏ฟฝsome will love the humor, others the grit. And the ongoing New Orleans travelogue, with its tempting fine dining descriptions, will make readers of regional mysteries salivate for more.
