STORIES FILLED WITH THE FOOD & SOUNDS OF NEW ORLEANS
THE CROOKED MANThe plot flows as though Tubby is talking aloud, visiting sites and people he knows. When asked to hold on to a gym bag, seems like a simple request, but then it soon became a problem. This captures the essence of New Orleans. The character are quite unique in the friends he has, As for Tubby he is ordinary man with a taste for fancy things. His style of writing seems easy so one just sits back and enjoy the storiesTHE CITY OF BEADSTaking time to drive down into Florida with Raisin nothing on the agenda, relaxing at the beach, and good food. His friend Potter was missing, and now home, a message from his wife he had been found. Tubby had looked up to Potter he seemed older and wiser and made a success out of the work he did shipping oil out of the country. He had always been a hustler, and able to pull the deals off, Tubby would miss him. Giving us a detail description of this man was good, as was the setting. Each story bring us quirky people that are friends with Tubby. In that we know more. about Tubby then just as a lawyer.TRICK QUESTIONTubby now owns Mike’s Bar, takes on a client at the last minute. Add to his stories of unusual people the client is a voodoo priest. The body was in a freezer, when it fell out, the head snap off. Another unusual case, and Tubby always seems laid back, though he does find evident. A good flowing plot, stories filled with quirky people and the sounds and foods of New Orleans

For humor and....
Humor there is and more. A bit of mystery, a bit of personal experience, and off-beat characters. An easy read with good continuity. The final book in an interesting and enjoyable series.

An Enjoyable Mystery Series
I read half the Tubby Dubonnet series last year & just finished the last five books. I truly enjoyed the laid back, lazy, colorful, fun easy mystery plots centered in and around New Orleans. It’s so easy to like the characters, Tubby a lawyer with so much soul...always needing to help the underdog & all his long time friends that always seem to fall into the middle of murders & chaos, if not solved all could end up in prison. I enjoyed the series murders intertwining & yet allowing each book to stand alone. I found the series filled with suspense, humor, many twists and turns, and a little romance thrown in.

a colorful engaging series
The main character is. Very interesting. , and evolves over time. Each story evolves from the ones before but easily stand alone also. I couldn’t put it down until I’d read them all. AND if you like New Orleans and it’s characters, you’ll love this series. Tony Dunbar has a style of writing that is easy to read yet unique. The characters can be brooding but never maudlin or tiring. They seem real. And the main character, Tubby Dubonnet, maintains his moral footing in spite of slips and falls.

Not a Normal Lawyer Story
I enjoyed the 9 stories very much. It was interesting that in each story, his client got in trouble and he and his friends were able to solve the crime and get them released. There was a continuity of all of the stories since each new book referred to something that happened in the previous one.I thought originally that since Tubby was a lawyer that there would be a lot of court trials. This was not the case. Each of the stories wound up being mysteries that Tubby solved.I enjoyed the characters a great deal and all of the endings in each story were surprising.I highly recommend this box set or any of the stories individually and feel any body else would too.

Great start with a very complex character
Good character and historical details fill him out over the Various books. About as soft food on ethics as is normal for N.O. L.A. Lawyers. Books were great reads for the first five and quality of stories and plots declined after that as well as charm for the main character

A great long read
I have read several of Dunbar's stories before, and enjoyed them; Encountering this big boxes set was a real joy. Although each can stand alone, there is only a little duplication of background, so the entire set is very readable as one long, interlinked story. I had a great time; Thank you.

Excellent series thoroughly entertaining
Really involving stories about Tubby Dubonnet and his effect on the justice system in and around New Orleans as he champions the innocent and investigates and punishes the guilty to protect his loved ones. Good how the stories follow a theme throughout and proceed towards Tubby's ultimate goal despite the efforts of many to stop him in his quest. All he really wants is to eat and drink and follow his love life while making enough to survive and help his daughters along the way. Two thumbs up for this series, I'd give it three if I had them.
