One of Dobyn's Best

Fleshpot is one of Dobyn's best books! It is narrated by Victor Plotz (call me Vic) - who is much funnier than Charlie Bradshaw (Dobyn's main character in the Saratoga books). Vic is a funny, wise-cracking kinda guy and his adventures kept me amused and interested. If you haven't read Dobyn yet - read Fleshpot - and if you are a Dobyn fan, you've probably already read it - and enjoyed it.

Very improbable, Totally fun!

Murder writers seem to need to have multiple murders and danger for main characters at end. This is no exception, but the main characters are so irreverent and so much fun that one can laugh at the genre while enjoying twists and turns. Setting in Saratoga works; this book is much better than "Saratoga Haunting" by same author.
