Dotty Davis belongs to that sub-genre of hard-boiled, sleazy, overweight, boozing, and otherwise disgusting private detectives increasingly offered as protagonists working for the "betterment" of humankind. Nonetheless exhibiting a modicum of charm through her heavy-handed humor, Dotty proceeds to wiggle her way out of several murder charges after answering a middle-of-the-night call from the male prostitute living downstairs from her. Soon after, Dotty, removed a dead, Catholic nun from his bed, someone rigs an explosion, sending the gigolo to the hospital. And then there's more dead bodies for Dotty to contend with, and both the police and a killer are looking for her.Rating Of Books The Drunk Detective: A Dotty Davis Comedy Suspense

It not very often that I read a crime based book that I have no clue what is going on it. Hell, I think this was a first for me. I had zero clue who the killer was and really what was going on. I was learning as the main character was learning. But the main character didnt know who the killer was until he confronted her. It was a pleasant surprise.The humor was there but it was very dry. Too dry in some places maybe? Not really I am just very hard to please when it comes humor. The self-dissingDotty is a hoot. Just pure mockery of the American private detectives, while being entertaining.
Dotty Davis is not the average detective. She's boozing, constantly cursing, is demoted to a file processing function before getting laid off. Dotty finds herself attempting to stay out of reach of police officers, church officials, and neighbors each suspecting her to be heavily involved in a series of brutal killings. Step by step the reader is drawn into this catfight, where truth and lies often collide, and at any time you would expect the detective being unmasked as the killer instead of
What can I say? At first, could I even like a suspense marked as a comedy. After page ONE, I was hooked. The Drunk Detective is a hoot and the satirical lines from Detective Dotty Davis are fun and right on the money.The novel opens with Dotty receiving a call from a male prostitute that lives in her apartment directly below her. Apparently, his latest client--a Catholic nun--has left the covenant and found her way to make use of his services and dies beneath him. After calling the local priest
A very funny story of a over the hill lady detective who loves booze way to much, any kind will do. A over zealous sex drive to go along with r drunkenness tends to make her forgetfull. Read along as she stumbles along to solve her newest case!
The book wasnt what I expected. I love that Dotty doesnt take crap from anyone. Shes a strong, no holds barred kind of woman. Shes funny but I do without some of bad language. It is a good story and kept my interest.Dotty is a hoot. Just pure mockery of the American private detectives, while being entertaining.
