Tubby Dubonnet #8
Night Watchman
SOME MEAN-ASS CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST in this EIGHTH entry in the Tubby Dubonnet series. "The literary equivalent of a film noir –fast, tough, tense, and darkly funny"…-Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Reminiscent of the best of Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard." -Booklist
The laid-back New Orleans lawyer finds himself caught in a twisted trip down memory lane, distracted by a luscious new love, and, as usual, surrounded by screwball denizens of everybody's favorite city. But he's also caught in someone's crosshairs, and so are half the cast of crazies and screwballs. Which makes for a delicious mix of danger and humor (with a dash of romance!), best consumed with a tall cold one and a bag of Zapp's Spicy Cajun Crawtators .
When in the 1970s a young war protester is killed in broad daylight on Canal Street, it appears that his murder will be forgotten, a back page story lost in the big news of an especially violent era. But a youthful Tubby chanced to see it happen, and the tragic event's haunted him throughout his life. Decades later, an established (but not exactly driven) lawyer, yet successful enough to have time on his hands, Tubby decides to conduct his own investigation into the forgotten crime. He quickly stirs up a hornets’ nest of far-reaching political feuds, police corruption, government agents, and old men with secrets to hide.
But as in all Tubby Dubonnet novels, the plot takes a backseat to local color, colorful characters, odes to fine food, wry observations, and a whole lot of humor. It's a little like spending a weekend in da Big Easy, dawlin'--complete with three well-chosen meals a day!
WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Tremé, softshell crab po’ boys, Domilise’s, the Upperline Restaurant…wait, let’s start over—ok, legal mysteries, particularly Parnell Hall’s Steve Winslow series and anything by Lia Matera, comic mysteries, Elmore Leonard, funny lawyer movies like My Cousin Vinny, TV shows like Ally McBeal and Night Court; and everyone’s favorite New Orleans yarn, Confederacy of Dunces.
“Hair-Raising ... Dunbar revels in the raffish charm and humor of his famously rambunctious city.” -New York Times Book Review
“The literary equivalent of a film noir –fast, tough, tense, and darkly funny…so deeply satisfying in the settling of the story’s several scores that a reader might well disturb the midnight silence with laughter.” -Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Take one cup of Raymond Chandler, one cup of Tennessee Williams, add a quart of salty humor, and you will get something resembling Dunbar’s crazy mixture of crime and offbeat comedy.” - Baltimore Sun
“Dunbar catches the rich, dark spirit of New Orleans better than anyone.”
--Publishers Weekly

About the author
Tony Dunbar
43 books100 followersTony Dunbar started writing at quite a young age. When he was 12, growing up in Atlanta, he told people that he was going to be a writer, but it took him until the age of 19 to publish his first book, Our Land Too, based on his civil rights experiences in the Mississippi delta. For entertainment, Tony turned not to television but to reading mysteries such as dozens of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe stories. Among his favorites are: Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon, and Tony Hillerman, and John D. MacDonald, and Mickey Spillane.
He has lived in New Orleans for a long, long time, and in addition to writing mysteries and more serious fare he attended Tulane Law School and continues an active practice involving, he says, “money.” That practice took a hit in the Hurricane Katrina flooding, but the experience did produce a seventh Tubby Dubonnet mystery novel, Tubby Meets Katrina
The Tubby series so far comprises seven books: The Crime Czar, City of Beads, Crooked Man, Shelter from the Storm, Trick Question, Lucky Man, and Tubby Meets Katrina. The main character, Tony says, is the City of New Orleans itself, the food, the music, the menace, the party, the inhabitants. But Tubby Dubonnet is the actual protagonist, and he is, like the author, a New Orleans attorney. Unlike the author, however, he finds himself involved in serious crime and murder, and he also ears exceptionally well. He is “40 something,” the divorced father of three daughters, a collector of odd friends and clients, and he is constantly besieged by ethical dilemmas. But he is not fat; he is a former jock and simply big.
Tony’s writing spans quite a few categories and is as varied as his own experiences. He has written about people’s struggle for survival, growing out of his own work as a community organizer in Mississippi and Eastern Kentucky. He has written about young preachers and divinity students who were active in the Southern labor movement in the 1930s, arising from his own work with the Committee of Southern Churchmen and Amnesty International. He has written and edited political commentary, inspired by seeing politics in action with the Voter Education Project. And he has had the most fun with the mysteries, saying, “I think I can say everything I have to say about the world through the medium of Tubby Dubonnet.”
Hurricane Katrina and the floods, which caused the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans for months, blew Tony into an off-resume job serving meals in the parking lot of a Mississippi chemical plant to hundreds of hardhats imported to get the complex dried out and operating. It also gave Tony time to write Tubby Meets Katrina, which was the first published novel set in the storm. It is a little grimmer than most of the books in the series, describing as it does the chaos in the sparsely populated city immediately after the storm. “It was a useful way for me to vent my anger,” Tony says. Still, even in a deserted metropolis stripped of electric power. Tubby manages to find a good meal.
The Tubby Dubonnet series has been nominated for both the Anthony Award and the Edgar Allen Poe Award. While the last one was published in 2006, the author says he is now settling down to write again. But about what? “Birds and wild flowers,” he suggests. Or “maybe television evangelists.” Or, inevitably, about the wondrous and beautiful city of New Orleans.

This was a free book recommended by bookbub. I will certainly be looking for other books by Tony Dunbar, especially about Tubby Dubonnet and his friends. When a book is free you don't expect it to be as solid and as well structured as this book is. A page turner, but with a deft light touch that keeps you feeling good despite the dark deeds that have been done and are unfolding quickly, but never hurriedly. The only thing that stops this being a 5 star review, is the ending was a bit abrupt and not a wholly satisfying conclusion. Having said that it is probably true to life, I just hope the next book closes the door on this episode.

Night Watchman, Tubby Dubonney Mystery Series and TubbyPalooza #8, takes us all the way back to Tubby's teens to a protest against The VietNam War on the streets of New Orleans in the 1970s, where he was witness to the shooting of another boy known only to him as Parker, who will die in his arms. Another case teases back memories of the murder of Parker in the Big Easy, and Tubby decides to put his best people, Cherrylynn and Flowers, on their own investigation of Parker's murder. That investigation went nowhere with the police back in the day, still listed as unsolved and Parker still nameless. The Dubonnet crew's investigation will stir the pot in surprisingly wide circles in the city. Tubby and his friends are now all finding themselves targets. Even his new friends are not safe. But if they are successful, Parker would have a whole name, and his family would have closure and Tubby wouldn't feel so guilty. Perhaps... And we are left set-up quite well for #9, Fat Man Blues. Very good tale, told very well.

I got this book for free. I didn’t realize it’s the eighth book in a series, but I didn’t feel lost from not having read the other books. It’s really slow. Seriously, it took forever to read it because I kept falling asleep. Lots of descriptions about what they’re eating and drinking (I don’t care). Weird interjections, like he woke up the bartender, who had been dreaming about (x). The bartender is the most minor of characters. REALLY don’t care what he was dreaming about. And then it ended. Abruptly. Glad it’s over. Don’t need to read any more in the series.

Not worth your time.
I thought the book was poorly written with a poorly conceived plot and to much trivial dialog. The story line was not very believable.

Cryin'
I liked the Tubby Dubonnet story just fine. It was fast-paced, full of social historical facts and fun characters (even the sleazeballs). When I add Mr. Dunbar's writing style, I find myself touching the fifth star without any hesitation.
But it was the excerpt of LOUISIANA HOTSHOT that made me cry.
Forty years ago I lived and loved in and around New Orleans and the only people on this planet who understand why I might be crying are those who were there. They probably are still there, too, if not dead and gone.
Had I married the man who sent me dozens of yellow roses with love notes written in French, I would still be living in the shadow of the levee, smelling burning bagasse every spring and pushing my baby girl's stroller over to Miss Blackie's to meet her Daddy for lunch.
Reading about that odd Canal St. accent that does sound exactly like any from Brooklyn made me remember red boudin, shopping at Bon Marche, muffalattas, hurricanes, turtle sauce piquant, dancing in the streets and a thousand other sights, smells and sounds that were all distinctly NOT Texan, and not even American really! Italian, French, Spanish, African, Caribbean, Chinese ... a gumbo of people and traditions that span time and space like no place else in this world. And it made me cry.
The land of passion, romance, death and heartache gave me a beautiful daughter and enough memories to fill a set of encyclopedias! Now that I've found a writer who can bring back those sights, smells and sounds with his words, I am looking forward to reading everything the man has ever written, fiction and non-fiction!
Yup, FIVE STARS for the book and the memories.

Kind of a non mystery mystery. This book was so slow, until I reached about chapter 26 where it became a little more exciting. The so called conspiracies had too many moving parts and they didn't connect well. Where there should have been a big reveal, there was none, because you didn't even know there was something to reveal. The main character was developed enough but some of the side characters were not. Even though I didn't read any other books in the series it was fine as a stand alone novel in that I didn't feel lost. The ending was the worst not only is it a cliff hanger but it means that long drawn out conspiracy is not over.

Night Watchman
Tubby Dubonnet investigates a murder of an acquaintance, Parker, that happened forty years ago. In the meantime, while investigating, comes across a group of shady characters who want him to leave it alone. A decent read! Kind of slow at first! I give it 2 1/2 stars!

October 30, 20158% was enough for me. I did not much like Tubby, and both his life and the settings seemed all too bleak. I realize it was supposed to be black humor, but all I saw was the darkness, not any humor. I have the first in the series, too, and I'm not sure I'll bother with it.

Don't mess with history
While I found parts of the book interesting, I wish Dunbar would not have injected conspiracy theories into the book. Those of us old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination find that sort of thing offensive--at least some of us do.

What happened
Loved the first books but this one was no match. Not sure what happened but this book was not of the same caliber. Even the ending sucked. This was the last tubby book I will read.

Not for me
Kept waiting for the story to get better... A very abrupt ending. I understand it's book 8 in a series; perhaps I should have started with book 1.

Another very forgettable book that I read on vacation and was disappointed in.
November 9, 2020
Barely back from a two-week vacation in Florida with his rich girlfriend, Marguerite, Tubby has already taken up a new client. A good friend of Tubby’s, a lady named Janie Caragliano who owns a club on St. Claude called the Monkey Business club over on St. Claude and is known to play music too loud at night that her neighbors have complained about the noise levels and have threatened to revoke her license.
Tubby’s also looking into a cold case involving a young boy who was shot during a public demonstration forty years ago. Tubby saw the kid get shot and tried to save him but couldn’t.
Tubby’s also representing a police officer named Ireanous Babineaux whose police union boss, Archie Alonzo changed the policy regarding assigning police to private details.
Tubby’s client works as Trey Caponata’s bodyguard, a mob boss’s son who happens to be good friends with Archie Alonzo.
According to Officer Ireanous, Alonzo was opposed to his operating the off-duty police assignments. Alonzo wants to cut him out of the business so he can keep all the profits to himself.
Ireanous claims that while they were arguing, Alonzo provoked Ireanous by touching his chest with his finger, so Ireanous punched him in the jaw. Ireanous suspects Alonzo will bring up a charge against him so he decides to be preemptive and hires Tubby.
Then Officer Ireanous gets shot in a dark alley where he went to investigate a 911 call.
As Tubby digs into the case, he soon finds himself, his friend Raisin, his secretary, and Flowers in danger.

I wanted to like this, I swear...
Perhaps there were too many characters to keep track of. Perhaps it just wasn’t the right book for me at this time. It felt as though Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich novels had been mixed together with a splash of Carolyn Keene’s Hardy Boys and a fleeting glimpse of John Grisham. And unfortunately the result didn’t taste good.
I found the most exciting part of the book was getting to 85% read on my kindle and finding the words “The End” before the rest of it launched into the hook for the next in the series.
Needless to say I didn’t read that.
I feel I’ve been quite negative here, which I don’t like to be, so I’m going to say that I’d like to read a book from much later in the series to see if the character has developed more into one which I’m interested in what happens to.

I haven't read the series in order but I don't think that is a big issue. Each book has enough buildup regarding each character that it seems complete unto itself. The hero, Tubby Dubonnet, is so likeable that i wish I could know him. The recurring characters of Raisin, Flowers, and Cherrylyn are becoming more important as the books have progressed. This one takes place after Katrina, and there are references to the rebuilding of New Orleans after that disaster. The story, in this case, is full of the twists and switchbacks that I've come to expect. Very satisfying read.
September 26, 2019
Fair to middling mystery. The introduction to the protagonist, a lawyer, artlessly ticked off 3 or 4 boxes to indicate social progressive politics. If that's your tribe you may appreciate it- to me it felt clunky. The story itself was pretty good. After the introduction the prose didn't get in the way of the story. The resolution was lacking and a little disappointing. I won't read further into the series or recommend it. Night Watchman was just good enough to not be a waste of time, but there's so many better books out there this one can be skipped.

As always a great read.
It has been over twenty five years since I have lived in New Orleans, but this brings back the memories. The city has great place interesting people and so much tradition. Tony Dunbar, brings it all together, plus Tubby Dubonennet, seems like such believable "Nawlin" person.
Will continue to read Dunbar. Recommend that you do also.

Tubby Dubonnet is involved in trying to help his friend save her bar after she gets notices of multiple violations. He also represents an up and coming street artist that performs a little too close to the line separating art from obscenity. And he decides to look into a cold-case murder investigation that he saw happen over 40 years ago. Plus, his love life is looking more complicated than ever.

Book #8 of a box-set.
Thankfully, the Tubby character has mainly returned as he had been before the last two books of the box-set. Much more enjoyable. He's still becoming more like a private detective with a law firm cover but it's still a good story. The pesky Cuban rebellions' are on his tail.
Recommended. On to Book #9

Best in the series
I read this book quickly because there were a lot of twists and turns in it. It kept me guessing until the end. I enjoyed it very much and it had a lot of interesting characters in it.

Worth your time
Not up to the standard of earlier books in the series - and the portrayal of Trayvon Martin as an 'innocent black kid' is obscene - if you're a Tubby Dubonnet fan, don't miss this one.

I really liked it. Three reviews popped up for me and one was quite favorable while the other three were not. However, I liked it. It was a page turner and loved how the various plot lines came together. I may need to look for more books in this series.

This is the firstTubby Dubonnet book I've read. I liked Tubby and his friends. The story was interesting if a little bizarre. I like stories set in New Orleans. I'll definitely be trying another Tony Dunbar book.

The characters are as colorful as NOLA itself. The plot is tight. I've enjoyed all the I've read in this series.

I've read a few books from this series and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. This one was not quite as good as the others . Tubby seemed a bit depressed in this story. Still glad I read it though.

Typical Tubby Dubonnet book. I was disappointed with how the book ends. It left me wondering if it continues in the next nook in the series.
