Review: No Saints in This City
Rating: 3 out of 5

Since the author, according to his bio, is a New Orleans attorney, and his primary character in this book is also an attorney in The Big Easy, I am made to wonder if that city's crime scene is as bleak and prolific as he portrays.  Attorney Tubby Dubonnet is the epitome of so many bad jokes about lawyers.  The result is a dark and dreary story.  Even so, it is rather well told, save for the usual collection of Kindle typos and mis-spellings.It started out so slowly and was told with so little expression that I nearly deleted it after two chapters.  Let’s face it, the people in this book are not the kind of characters normal people would want to have as their friends.  The way law enforcement is portrayed is downright depressing.  Maybe our Attorney Author had a really bad day when he dreamed up the plot for this book.If you like weirdos, wannabes, and a way-off-the-wall legal system, then you may like the book.  I still feel guilty for liking the book.  Chalk it up for guilty pleasures and give it three stars.
