Dell, Feb 1999, $5.99, 288 pp.
Flap Tucker is an easy going guy, who has been there, done that, and has no interest in stirring the pot. For the past few months, he has refused to leave his house. He finally goes outside when his best friend Dalliance Oglethorpe, owner of the Easy's night club, asks him to accompany her to a North Georgia mountain town to see her newborn niece.
When they arrive, the two visitors join the search for a missing little girl. Flap, a private detective who uses Zen to help him on an investigation, begins questioning the townsfolk and follows the threads of his hunches. He soon finds a town loaded down with a lot of secrets and plenty of individuals with much to account for as he meditates in one last effort to locate the child.
There seems to be a feel to Phillip DePoy's Southern mysteries rarely seen in other novelist's works. EASY AS ONE TWO THREE is a spectacular psychological suspense blended inside a well-plotted who-done-it. The Flap Tucker novels are getting better and better as readers begin to understand the hero's mindset and his relationship to Dally. This series is clearly one of the most entertaining regional mysteries on the market today.
