Nominated for a Minnesota Book award. Art Hound is the 16th title in the award winning Dev Haskell series. Private Investigator Dev Haskell makes the mistake of having a compassionate side when he attempts to help out starving artist and sometime acquaintance Demarcus Cantrell for ‘just’ a couple of days after his girlfriend has thrown him out. In short order Dev’s home is overflowing with ugly … overflowing with ugly paintings, boxes of books, tubes of paint, cans of turpentine, rolls of canvas, no beer left in the fridge…and Dev begins to see things from the girlfriends point of view. Add to that the sudden appearance of disgruntled Farrell Finley, subject of Dev’s ongoing investigation and things start to get more than a little crazy. Demarcus suddenly disappears, there’s a kidnapping and things suddenly go from bad to downright terrible with a cast of international criminals and an investigation that turns out to be not all it’s cracked up to be. Art Hound Dev Haskell’s latest attempt at culture! Fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey and Laurence Shames love it!

This book could not capture my attention at the start so I never finished reading it, just deleted it from my kindle.
Dev is kinda goofy. Light time filler.
I didn’t much care for it. The author is too obsessed by women’s behinds. It would probably appeal to sex-starved teenage boys.
I was board with this book and gave up with it in the second chapter.
Not my cup of tea. Shallow characters. Uninteresting plot. I was surprised to find that I had two books instead of one. I didn’t bother reading the second one.
A great read. Fun, fast paced and entertaining
Thought it was boring
Couldn’t make myself finish it. Too ‘cute’ for me. Sorry.
If you want a few hours of action-packed excitement and fun, this is a great book. Wonderful escapism that keeps you reading and turning the pages.
Too much objectionable language and subject material.
I couldn’t read more than a third of it. Just not interesting at all
Didn’t like the foul language
Amusing
This book is an immature romp. Not worth reading.
