About this listen

Meet Happy Doll.

Hap to his friends. He's a LA private detective living a quiet life along with his beloved half-Chihuahua, half-terrier, George.

He's getting by just fine.

When he's not walking George or sipping tequila, Hap works nights at the Thai Miracle Spa, protecting the women who work there from clients who won't take 'no' for an answer.

Until he kills a man.

Usually Doll avoids trouble by following his two basic rules: bark loudly, and act first. But after a deadly fight with a customer, even he finds himself wildly out of his depth....

A Man Named Doll is both a hilarious introduction to an unforgettable character, and a high-speed joyride through the sensuous and violent streets of LA.

Critic Reviews

"Shot through with darkly comic flourishes. Motel, money, murder, madness: it has all you need to keep you happy." (The Times, Thriller of the Month)

Liked the Quirky bits I suppose

The story was quite good - and must’ve been as I stuck with it to find out the ending, despite the narration which was not to my taste at all. I would describe it as an attempt at ‘film noir’ style narration - all monotone and very distracting. Still, I listened to the end despite the narration, so interesting characters and story.
