Review: Shark Skin Suite by Tim Dorsey

A Mysterious Review of Shark Skin Suite by Tim Dorsey. A Serge A. Storms Mystery.

Review summary: This 18th Florida adventure is rather tame for the series, which isn't a negative comment in this context. The plot, such as it is, is rather confusing, though the courtroom scenes towards the end are really terrific theater. On balance, more positives than negatives, with a topical storyline that isn't quite at edgy as fans may expect. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Shark Skin Suite
Tim Dorsey
A Serge A. Storms Mystery
William Morrow (January 2015)

Publisher synopsis: When it comes to swimming with the sharks, there is no bigger kahuna than Serge Storms. Binging on a marathon of legal movies set in Florida, Serge finds his calling: the law. Never mind law school or that degree, Serge becomes a freelance fixer — wildcat paralegal and pilgrim to the hallowed places where legal classics of the big screen such as Body Heat, Cool Hand Luke, and Absence of Malice were filmed practically in his own backyard.

One of Serge's old flames, young lawyer Brook Campanella, is also a rising star thanks to her expertise in the field of foreclosure law. Ruthless at taking down the greedy banksters kicking people out of their homes, she lands a major class-action lawsuit, and wins big. The opposition is determined to shut her down and they'll go to extreme lengths to do it.

Luckily for her, Serge has been hired to do some investigative legwork on the case. There's nothing he likes better than saving a damsel in distress, especially when it means kicking a bunch of shyster butt. The mayhem comes to a hilarious head at the Key West courthouse, at the height of the island's raucous Fantasy Fest street carnival, and no one, including Serge, will ever be the same.

After the spectacular Christmas Eve robbery of Trinity Church by some men in hooded monks' robes and plastic masks of the face of Jesus Christ, Amos Freeman is surprised to get a call from a mayor's aide telling him to be at Gracie Mansion at 2 p.m.

Lindstadt has the top political and police honchos at Gracie Mansion to organize the investigation. But he surprises them (as well as Freeman) when he plucks Freeman out of NYPD obscurity, appointing him as his personal liaison officer to Operation Trinity.

As she delves into the investigation, deeper and deeper, Amos's life is pulled apart by different forces: his dead-end marriage, the tension on the job, and now by an assignment the mayor will not let him turn down — a job that tosses him into the unsavory stew of conflicting (and hidden) agendas among the power elite of New York City's political leaders, police department bosses, Episcopal Church hierarchy and Wall Street financiers.

Down Don't Bother Me by Jason Miller, a New 1st in Series Mystery Introducing Slim

Omnimystery News is pleased to present you with one of this month's new 1st in Series titles, a mystery, thriller or suspense novel that introduces a recurring character (or characters) …

Down Don't Bother Me by Jason Miller

A Slim in Little Egypt Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Bourbon Street Books

  

What we know about the character: Slim is a mine employee in Southern Illinois with a reputation for "bloodhounding", finding lost souls when the police can't or won't. For more information about his first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.

In the depths of the Knight Hawk, one of the last working collieries in downstate Illinois, the body of a reporter is found, his mini-recorder tied around his neck and a notepad stuffed in his mouth.

The Knight Hawk's owner, Matthew Luster, isn't happy. He wants answers — and he doesn't want the cops or any more press poking into his business. To protect himself and the operation, he turns to Slim, a mine employee with a reputation for "bloodhounding"-finding lost souls when the police can't or won't. Luster needs Slim to locate a missing photographer named Beckett, a close associate of the victim … who just happens to be his son-in-law.

A hard-working single father barely making ends meet, Slim accepts the job — after Luster offers him a guaranteed pension and job security for life. But when you make a deal with the devil, you're going to get burned … . and now Slim is all too close to the flames. Circumstances have lead him into the grimy underworld of Little Egypt, Illinois — a Babel's Tower of rednecks, rubes, freaks, tweakers, gun nuts, and aging hippies-and it quickly becomes clear that he's much more involved in the murder than an innocent man should be.

A Suspense Thriller

Price: $2.99 (as of 03/30/2015 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

The Fletchers' beautiful new house is everything they dreamed it would be. Built between two churches in Heptonclough, a small village on the moors that time forgot, it ought to be paradise for this young family of five, but they barely have a chance to settle in before they find that they're anything but welcome. Someone seems to be trying to drive them away — at first with silly pranks but then with threats that become increasingly dangerous, especially to the oldest child, ten-year-old Tom Fletcher, who begins to believe that someone is always watching him.

The adults in Tom's life are trying to help, including his parents; the vicar next door, younger and more dashing than you'd expect a vicar to be; and a therapist, Evi Oliver, who believes him more than she wants to. But there are other clues that something isn't quite right in Heptonclough, including the mysterious accidental deaths of three toddlers over the last ten years. It is not until Tom's siblings, two-year-old Milly and five-year-old Joe Fletcher, go missing in turn that the little village's evil secret turns the Fletchers' dreams into a nightmare.
