Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Three bank robbers are on the run following a rather unusual heist. They decide to seek shelter for the night in a tiny, seemingly harmless town. However, the following morning they awaken to discover that the town they chose is actually some form of disturbingly cheery utopia complete with sickly sweet citizens who have the rather odd habit of breaking into perfectly choreographed song and dance numbers. When they try to leave, they discover that getting out of this bizarre little village may not be as easy as they thought.

His name was Adam Kyler. He had eyes as black as licorice jujubes and a spit curl hooked across his forehead that reminded me of a young Superman. He was nine years old. It wasn't his fault he was standing in the alley, but I shot him just the same.... Dopple Dribble is a story of revenge from beyond the grave and I guarantee you without a shadow of a doubt that after you hear this story, the very next time that you hear the sound of some kid walking down the sidewalk under the streetlights dribbling a basketball you are going to spend the rest of the night scared stiff.

An entertaining southern mystery!
French Quarter Vendetta is a suspenseful thriller that is intriguing and well written. There are many twists and turns that form a believable plot. There is a lot of action and suspense to keep your interest piqued. The characters have good southern characteristics that fit right in with someone that lives in the south. Several different crimes happen throughout which in the end come together. It does seem to get a little confusing at times but overall it is a good and entertaining story.
Theo Holland does a good job with the narration. He has a clear and crisp voice that is easy to follow. I think he did a good job with lending the southern charm to the voices.
This is the first book that I have read by Gary Graybill and will certainly not be my last. I recommend French Quarter Vendetta to anyone that enjoys reading a suspense/thriller that will keep you entertained and guessing to the very end.

Old school noir with great sense of place
Old school, hard boiled detective novel set in New Orleans. Well written and true to the genre.
Well plotted, well written. I enjoyed the ambiance and descriptions of the setting, as well as the main characters.
I enjoyed the narrator. His voice was a very good match for he main character for me and the performance was well paced.

Murders Big Easy Style
The series has promise however it also needs some fine tuning.
I found this book to be a bit muddled and confusing as there were multiple crimes and perpetrates. It was hard to keep everyone straight. Also the ancillary crimes were at best only loosely connected to the major murder mystery.
The primary perpetrator of the primary murder was very easy, in fact too easy to ascertain.
The narration was okay, however it could also use some polishing. At times it sounded like a kid reading to a classroom.
In addition I found the dialogue to be trite, cheesy and stereotypical.
All in all it was an okay listen.
I received this audiobook at no-cost from Audiobookworm Promotions. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
