Grisly packages promising worse to come. On a dark street outside a nightclub called Easy, a man is gunned down--by a handsome killer everyone thought was dead. Someone is stalking club owner Dalliance Oglethorpe, someone from a past she thought she had left behind. Flap Tucker, Dally's knight in not-so-shining armor, prides himself on seeing through reality's illusions. But what he discovers about his longtime love will catch him blind. There is a lot Flap doesn't know--and a lot he has to find out, soon, about himself and the woman he thought he knew best. But Dally wants Flap to keep his distance. She thinks he may have had a hand in murder. And Flap has reason to suspect Dally herself. If they are to make it through the long, dark night, Flap must find the real killer, a real motive, and the real truth behind Dally's lost years--and the secrets she has never been able to reveal--before it's too late.

 Rating: - DePoy Makes It Look 'Easy'"Dead Easy" is my first excursion into the Atlanta of Flap Tucker and Dalliance Oglethorpe. My thinking was that I might have missed something for not having read the first four installments of their (mis)adventures. How wrong I was! "Dead Easy" is a joy from first word to last. DePoy's characters are wittily conceived and drawn. His plot twists are delightfully innovative.

He becomes Flap Tucker, one of the most engaging detectives it has been my pleasure to find. Replacing urbane zingers with southern-fried wit, in this 5th of the delightful series, Flap learns as much about his galpal Dalliance as about a murder-by-body-parts. Disembodied hands, great "perps" like Jersey Jakes, and past lives keep you from putting this book down except to refill your ...

Flap is stuck between a rock and hard place as many signs point to Dalliance (his love interest) as being intimately involved in murder. As Flap discovers more about Dally's 'past lives' he becomes more troubled. The locale (Atlanta, Georgia) is brought alive as Flap tries to make sense of the nonsensical. Great characterization and plot creation. The best Flap Tucker yet. Don't miss it!
