Tubby Dubonnet #6
Lucky Man
The SIXTH subtle and humorous adventure in the Tubby Dubonnet series.
WHEN THE DA HIMSELF SETS YOU UP, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING DOWN�
In Tony Dunbar’s books, New Orleans is The Big Sleazy squared. No one is safe, especially from their elected officials. Even if they are an elected official.
So what if Judge Hughes shared a few special moments with Sultana Patel—why is this a matter of public interest? “The stench from that courthouse fills the city,� roars D.A. Marcus Dementhe. “Those hypocritical men and women who wear the robes are filthy with deception.� And Dementhe has a zany plan to snare them.
Hughes, happily, has had the good sense to hire epicurean lawyer Tubby Dubonnet, whose laconic air is belied by his zeal to protect his clients. And what a web they’re ensnared in! But no matter how dire things get, Dunbar never loses his sense of humor:
"I think he's going to shoot us once we're out in the Gulf," Tubby whispered to the girl.
“His aura is green,� she agreed.
Half the fun of a Tubby Dubonnet book is watching his sly creator fit together a plethora of fascinating yet seemingly unrelated jigsaw pieces to form a picture you never saw coming. And the other half is hanging out with Tubby and his crew of eccentrics, sleazeballs, goofballs, and enticing, confusing babes in the Big Easy-to-Love.
WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of °Õ°ù±ð³¾Ã©, softshell crab poâ€� 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.

About the author
Tony Dunbar
39Ìýbooks100ÌýfollowersTony 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.

Good but not great! This book was free on Kindle and is in the middle of a series.I would like the first book in series ,if I can find it

There are plenty of New Orleans descriptions. However there were too many characters for any development to happen. The start was slow and the ending not complete.

Lucky Man is the third novel by Tony Dunbar I have read, and it won't be the last. His main man, Tubby Dubonnet, is in the class of protagonists with Sandford's Virgi Flowers, whose antics keep you up late with the light on. The action takes place primarily in New Orleans, and the story is peppered with images of the local scene. Tubby Dubonnet is a New Orleans lawyer, divorced, with three daughters and a cast of unique friends. A number of apparently unrelated subplots come together in a logical fashion at the end.
Dunbar's writing style is reminescent of Nelson DeMille with his smooth incorporation of humor into the story line. This is not a heavy read, but it is a good one.

poor. lots of typos. wish I had the time back spent reading this. the publisher pays you to submit their typos. so I guess this is a beta version of a book.

This is the first time I’m reading anything by Tony Dunbar and it won’t be the last. Although this is the sixth book in the Tubby Dubonnet series, I am already loving Tubby. So, let’s meet him. Tubby is a lawyer who has given up booze, looking for his pay day from prior clients, and is now embroiled in a doozy of a case while on the brink of a potential love interest.
The doozy of a case involves Judge Al Hughes who calls Tubby because he is caught in a bind with District Attorney Marcus Dementhe who confronts him with dates, times, and places of having sex with a young lady (Sultana Patel). Judge Hughes is worried about his wife finding out as well as appearing before a special grand jury the DA is convening to nail corrupt judges. However, if the judge cooperated in getting dirt on his colleagues, the DA might work out a deal with him.
When Tubby connects with Sultana to find out what she told the DA, he learns that she was paid to come on to the judge at a party. Her story is pretty similar to that of another young lady who is seen on a video (in Tubby’s possession from a prior case) talking about a man placing personal ads in newspapers looking for young women to act as escorts. Tubby with the help of his private investigator friend, Sanre Fueres (Flowers) tracks down the man (Max Finn) behind the personal ads. But before they could talk to him, he was found dead at his home. Yet, another complication because Finn’s wife, Norella used to be the girlfriend of one of Tubby’s friends - Jason Boaz, the inventor.
Overall, this was a quick, fun, humorous, and puzzled-filled read. There were a lot of characters but what drew me in was their colorful names (Raisin Partlow, Candy Canary, Sapphire Serena, Lucky LaFrene, etc.), their quirkiness, and how they fit perfectly in the storyline which readers need to follow carefully. The dialogue and descriptions were spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed going a ride with Tubby as he meandered the streets of New Orleans (sights, sounds, smells) in search of finding the truth about Max Finn as well as his zest for justice for his clients. I won’t give anything away but I had hoped that a certain someone (the DA) would have gotten his comeuppance. Anyway, as Tubby said, “At some level the guilty will pay� and I believe him. Two thumbs up!
Rating: 4 stars
Some of my favorite lines:
“Can I come over to see you right now? I’m feeling a lot of pressure here.�
It must be going around, Tubby thought, and gave her the address. He told Cherrylynn to be on the lookout and asked very politely if she would mind staying in the room while he interviewed the woman.
“As of today, you’re a paralegal,� he told her. “Anything you hear is privileged.�
“Does that involve a raise?� she asked woodenly.
“Does it feel like Christmas?� She didn’t smile, but he thought she might be brightening up a bit.

Every now and again you discover a character who reminds you of people in your life, or facets of them.
One such, for me, is Tubby Dubonnet, lawyer and investigator in New Orleans. He likes his grub, loves booze, and is quite flexible when it comes to morality.
I stopped reading the series in late 2020, after five books, for two reasons - (a) I felt the quality was slipping and, (b) binge reading does no favours to many series, the original readers had to wait for each episode and were less likely to be hyper-critical.
Except in "Lucky Man", his sixth outing, he's gone on the wagon and food no longer plays much of a role in his life. The author may have been thinking about character growth but this reader was scratching his head in puzzlement. The joie de vivre which was the essence of Tubby in the past is almost entirely missing.
His long term secretary, Cherrylynn, hands in her notice:- "It’s not the same around here anymore ... it used to be fun. Now it just seems like a lot of pressure."
A judge, Alvin C. Hughes, comes to Tubby to explore a problem - he's being blackmailed by Marcus Dementhe, the new DA, to dish the dirt on his judicial colleagues. The judge ain't innocent, not by a long shot, but he's not guilty of any criminal act.
But, should the details emerge it will certainly destroy his marriage.
From that point on it gets complicated.
My initial thoughts on the later books in the series were confirmed. "Lucky Man" is a good read but not a great one. It's a pity as I really wanted Tubby's adventures to continue to be fun.

New Orleans, LA. Judge Al Hughes called Tubby Dubonnet (lawyer).
New Orleans, LA. Peggy Sue had sex with Judge Hughes.
Tubby waited for Norella Finn (Max’s ex-wife, aka Norella Peruna, Honduras, widow) to show up.
Max Finn had been murdered.
State Street Café. Sapphire Serena, & Tubby enjoyed the seafood platter/drinks.
St. Tammy Parrish, LA. What would Sapphire & Tubby find out next?
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written Big Easy crime thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great Big Easy crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

LUCKY MAN #6 of the Tubby Dubonnet Mystery Series, is so fast paced you will have crossed eyes before the surprise ending, but it's all very clear in retrospect. Tubby is several weeks sober and sees clearly, now. We have all the usual suspects, that hard-nosed DA with a grudge, and many surprises, both in the Bubonnet legal practice, the family, and the legal and police departments of NO, LA. Just hang in there - it's a fast, rollicking read and you will see the light. Tubby is a very lucky man, after all.
REVIEWED on February 26, 2025, at Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, AmazonSmile, and BookBub. Not available at B&N or Kobo.
Book #7 Tubby Meets Katrina, was published by a different publisher, NewSouth Books in 2005. The Kindle on it is about $25. I found no epub deals on it anywhere. I did find a used hardback copy of #7 I could afford so will have a Tubby break until it comes in. Retirement is not all it's cracked up to be, not much money, but there is lots of time to READ! I'm too old to enjoy heavy hard-backed books but I had to have this one. It's about warm enough to lie in the New Mexico sun and read it, with lemonade and a lazy cat.

Book#6 of a box-set.
Thankfully, we have a resurrected Tubby for this book. Once again, some old characters, some new characters. It's a good story, but I sometime wonder whether the author forgets that Tubby is a lawyer rather than a private detective -or whether he is going to throw away his law firm and become one.
Recommended. The box-set seems to have jumped over Book#7, so it's onto Book#8

Um no
This book took me an extremely long time to read. It was so hard to get into and the first book in the series that I read. I was pretty, honestly I want to say pissed, at the way it ended. Waste of my time. I refuse to read another book to see how the story in this book ends.

another notch in Tony Dunbar’s legend
Tubby, going through some mental perambulations, tries to help his buddy and client - a judge in the crosshairs of a conniving district attorney.
All stripe of skulduggery and dirty deeds are uncovered, but so far Tubby and his motley crew of adventurers are unscathed by others� bad deeds.

Low 3
This one was a bit too scattered and had too many POVs for me to feel really connected to the characters. So it just didn't quite work for me. I am leaving rating at low 3 as I've been having some bad days while reading it that might have contributed to how I felt about it.

Really nothing much to say about this - I finished it, it was ok, kind of... not really anything about it to recommend to others or to make me want to read more of this series. Unfortunately ordinary.

Relaxing read
Not great literature or a great mystery, but quirky characters put through weird plot lines make this book an amusing diversion, which is just what I was looking for.

Not as much fun as the earlier books but Tubby still sets the stage for a wild ride. Somehow corpses follow him around the Big Easy.

Good old Tubby
A lawyer with “detective� as a sideline.
I always enjoy his story, helping the “not bad guys� as they wander around.

Another fairly decent read from Tony Dunbar. Entertaining and semi-predictable.

now i am hooked. This was such a great, easy and creative book. i was hooked after the first page.
The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story. the author made the mental visions so easy and vivid of the surroundings and the characters actions felt so real.
i would highly recommend this author and this book.

This is one of my favorite Tubby Dubonnet mysteries. Tubby has stopped drinking "on a trail basis" and he is not in a good mood. He tells his best friend that he can no longer stay at his house , his long-time secretary gives notice, he realizes that he is disconnected from his daughters and he is even thinking of moving out of New Orleans. Then his friend, and recently re-elected judge, comes to him for professional advice. The newly elected District Attorney is accusing the judge of sexual improprieties and threatens to make it public if he doesn't dig up dirt on other judges. In true New Orleans style, Tubby and his cast of wacky friends and local characters go into action. Always entertaining.
