Mike Faricy does a great job of describing all the regulars, and the cast of characters introduced in each book, but he doesn't tell us much about Dev. Now that I'm seven books into the series, I realized that I don't know much about Devlin Haskell. She has apparently loaned $50,000, in cash, to lowlife con man Renee Paris, and she wants Dev to send the message she wants her money back. The sexy voiced caller was one Danielle Roxbury the heiress-princess-trust fund-baby. It's one of the best.ĭev Haskell made the mistake of answering a 2 AM phone call his life went downhill from there. Dev is not for everyone, but if you liked the other books in the series you will certainly like this one. This was a fun mystery with great characters. Can Dev, with the help of his lawyer pal Louie, get himself out of another fine mess. But things go awry following a fire and the discovery of a dead body and Dev soon finds himself back in the sights of his old nemesis, Lt. Renee Paris is someone that no one has anything good to say about and tracking him down seems like easy money. The following day, now sober trust fund princess Danielle is embarrassed by her call, but hires Dev to help her get back the $50k she loaned to a former business partner. The young woman is clearly drunk and has been stood up by her date and found Dev's number listed as "For a good time call." in the ladies room of a bar. Our hero, private eye Dev Haskell, is enjoying an evening with his long time friend with benefits, Heidi, when he gets a call at 3 AM.
"Faricy is the next Carl Hiaasen." -Crime Scene In a bizarre but compelling mixture of suspense, family drama, and offbeat comedy, Dev once again messily balances both sides of the law in a wacky adventure that will keep you on your toes while laughing out loud. Next thing he knows, our fair but bumbling hero can’t find his client or her business partner, which turns out to be the least of his problems when he finds himself on the hook for murder, and suddenly haunted by a multitude of childhood secrets. It's all fun and games (not to mention funny) til someone goes missing. She's called Dev "for a good time," but what she really wants is for him to deliver a simple message to her former business partner. It seems she's found his phone number on a bathroom stall. PI Dev Haskell answers, half-asleep, to a giggling woman named Danielle. In Hitchcockian fashion, the telephone rings at two in the morning.
Ting-A-Ling is the Seventh mystery in the highly entertaining Dev Haskell Private Investigator mystery series.
