Acerca de esta escucha
Murders happen every day in the big bad city. They're not such a big deal, you know. Even when the victim is a city councilman as well-known as Lester Henderson.
But this is the first time Fat Ollie Weeks of the 88th Precinct has written a novel, ah yes. Called Report to the Commissioner, it follows a cunning detective named Olivia Wesley Watts, who, apart from being female and slim, is rather like Fat Ollie himself. While Ollie's responding to the squeal about the dead councilman, his leather dispatch case is stolen from the back of his car - and in it, the only copy of his precious manuscript.
Joined by Carella and Kling from the neighboring 87th Precinct, Ollie investigates the homicide with all the exquisite crudeness, insensitivity, and determination for which he is famous. But the theft of his first novel fills Ollie with a renewed passion for old-fashioned detective work.
Following the exploits of one of Ed McBain's most beloved detectives, this lively and complicated tale - the fifty-second in the award-winning 87th Precinct series - is McBain at his best.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence; it's about negotiation and manipulation.

He was planning to retire to Italy someday anyway, so Harry figures now's a good time to get lost.

Historia
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Historia
Asian American private investigator Lydia Chin knows New York City's Chinatown, its people, and its ways as no outsider ever could. It's a city within a city, a rich melange of smells, sounds, dark shops, and close-knit families - a world all its own. And in all of Chinatown, there is no one like Lydia, who has a nose for trouble, a disapproving Chinese mother, and a partner named Bill Smith who's been living above a bar for 16 years. Hired to find some precious stolen porcelain, Lydia follows a trail of clues from highbrow art dealers into a world of Chinese gangs.

Funny As Hell!
Would you listen to Fat Ollie's Book again? Why?
I might listen to sections of this book again, especially near the end. There are some moments there that made me laugh right out loud.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fat Ollie's Book?
I think the best part is the unlikely romance between Ollie and another female cop from his precinct.
What does Michael Arkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
This narrator has a great way of delivering a punch-line.

Much fun
Ed trails subplots around and across each other with consummate skill building the tale on classic dialogue. A lot of fun and very entertaining.

Great Listen
Where does Fat Ollie's Book rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
On a scale of 1-10 of the audiobooks I've listened to so far (which aren't many as of yet), Fat Ollie ranks a 9.
What did you like best about this story?
Michael Arkin is a good reader and his pace is perfect -- not too fast or too slow. He has an excellent mastery of the accents he had to cover.
Which character – as performed by Michael Arkin – was your favorite?
My favorite character as performed by Michael Arkin would be the male Puerto Rican prostitute.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
I only wished sometimes that Arkin wouldn't read every single sentence so dramatically. Occasionally, I felt like he was reading a children's book and that it needed toned down as the mood of certain scenes or dialogue varied.

I can't help it, even as dated as it is, the over dramatic narration and Fat Ollie, I loved it.

The Rehabilitation? of Fat Ollie
True to the original intent of the 87th being an ensemble performance, this time McBain takes us on the curious and uncertain rehabilitation of Fat Ollie's character. Which is quite a lark. It will probably remind you of someone - the universally disliked colleague whose newly-discovered redeeming features are just painful to acknowledge and reconcile!
McBain must take curious pleasure in dumping on us bucket-loads of previously unknown facts about Ollie. 1 redeeming feature.. 2? No, that's not McBain's style: we go over-the-top.
My only disappointment with this book is missing Dick Hill as narrator. Love him or hate him, he struck me as perfect for this series. In my mind, Dick Hill *is* the voice of the 87th - over-blown performances and all.

Worst book ever!
I normally love Ed McBain stories however this one was absolutely horrible. It seemed as if someone else other than Ed McBain wrote it. It was a bigoted piece of plain trash!
