Following Detective Damien Dickens through boardwalk knockouts rubbish burials (his own) pawnshop prowls and the ire of his long time enemies made this listen fun adventure and conjured more than a little worry over the doomed detective. This crew is all kerchiefs and pearls and murder. This takes us back to the New Jersey and New York of the 70’s, which was a time of bell bottoms, disco music, pay phones, and platform shoes-but not for the conservative heirs of a tobacco conglomerate.
This was an enjoyable first book, paving the way for future adventures, ably narrated by Tom Lennon, although his female voices were less convincing. My one issue with the book was the excessive description of what everyone was wearing whenever they entered the story, which became irritating after a while. Celine's sister and brother-in-law are owners of a huge tobacco concern and there is much family conniving and interaction, which gives an interesting twist to the plot. The clues, however, suggest that Damien Dickens himself, was responsible for her murder and he is duly arrested. He feels responsible for her death and blames himself for not being able to protect her. Celine's body was found under the Altlantic City Boardwalk (pier?), soon after she came to Dick for help. I enjoyed getting to know 'Dick' and found him to be an endearing character, as he solved the mystery of the death of his former client, Celine Sutherland. Do you know what locations in Ok that the contaminated cantaloupes were found? I’m so grateful for the information that you provide and am one of your loyal email subscribers.This was the first book in a series of murder mysteries featuring Damian Dickens and his lawyer Gus. Today she had an endoscopy which shows that she has a bacterioa of unknown origin! I informed the hospital when she was in the ERthat she had eaten cantaloupe in Oklahoma and I was concerned that she might have Listeria. She had a cat scan on the 28th that was negative. In November of 2011 she had her gall bladder removed and has been sensitive to certains foods so the doctors felt that she may have been problems dur to that. On 10/2/11 she was taken by ambulance to the same local hospital where she has been admitted.
She continued to have even more severe symptoms & was unable to take the oral meds prescribed. She was treated for pain and nausea & sent home with an rx for 2 antibiotics and phenrgan for nausea. On the 28th I took her to our local emergency room for treatment after she had spent the past few days vomiting and having diarrhea. I need your assistance! On Aug 25th,2011 my 20 yr old daughter Jordan ate cantaloupe in an Oklahoma restaurant.
