Is Fat Bob Dead Yet?

By: Stephen Dobyns

Narrated by: George Newbern

In the seaport city of New London, Connecticut, newcomer Connor Raposo has just witnessed a gruesome motorcycle accident on Bank Street. At least he thinks it was an accident. But then he sees a familiar man - who else would wear an Elvis pompadour in this day and age? - lurking around the crime scene. Where does Connor know him from? And why does everyone he knows keep showing up dead?

Critic reviews

"Another darkly comic whodunit from veteran novelist Dobyns...a lively, laugh-out-loud winner." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"Gold Dagger Award-finalist Dobyns' genius for dark comedy makes this intricate crime novel a triumph that will appeal to Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiassen fans." ( Publishers Weekly)

Fabulous book.

An engaging and well told story. Dobyns is top-notch. If you have not read him yet, you must.

Very funny

It takes getting used to, but it's worth it. It's not really a mystery story, although it is sort of a satire. It's just plain subtly funny.

Fun book

Funny. Lots of characters to keep up with but that is part of the fun.

strange style

the story is good but I found the author's style grating with him constantly pulling the listener out of the story by speaking to the audience directly.

Not his best

The narrator does his best but the characters are unlikeable and the plot is not particularly compelling.
