THE BIG KISS – LaStanza Novel #2
This is New Orleans – 1982. In Homicide, you’re only as good as your last case. Fresh from solving the Slasher Murders, NOPD Homicide Det. LaStanza must investigate a ‘floater’ pulled from the Mississippi River. The bloated body with two holes in the head is the son-in-law of the La Cosa Nostra Boss Alphonso Badalamente. Sicilian-American LaStanza’s is in the middle of a Mafia slaying. LaStanza’s new partner, Paul Snowood, who dresses in cowboy get-ups, teases LaStanza with, “There goes your perfect record.” The killer is probably back in Detroit or Chicago or maybe China.
LaStanza keeps his date with Lizette Louvier (from Grim Reaper). The relationship of this working-class detective and the uptown daughter of the wealthy class grows slowly. That same evening the body of a young prostitute is found. LaStanza learns she was shot twice in the forehead, and has the bullets compared to the bullets from his victim’s. It’s the same gun, a .22 Magnum. The killer’s still in town and LaStanza must connect the victims to hopefully lead him to the murderer.
Born in New Orleans, O’Neil De Noux is a prolific American writer of novels and short stories.

In 2010, De Noux made a move to eBooks and print-on-demand books, teaming with other artists in the art co-op Big Kiss Productions and published SLICK TIME, a sexy caper novel, followed by collections NEW ORLEANS MYSTERIES, NEW ORLEANS NOCTURNAL, NEW ORLEANS CONFIDENTIAL, NEW ORLEANS PRIME EVIL and BACKWASH OF THE MILKY WAY.

The Big Kiss LaStanza New Orleans Police Novels edition by O'Neil De Noux Literature Fiction eBooks
This is a good police procedural, a genre I very much enjoy. Having lived in New Orleans, I love it that I can really picture the streets where these detectives carry out their investigations. The one drawback is the excessive amount of typos. There is a disclaimer at the end asking the reader to excuse the typos, but there are so many that it does interfere with the flow of the book. If they know there are typos, why not correct them? This sloppiness does a disservice to both the author and the reader.Product details

The Big Kiss LaStanza New Orleans Police Novels edition by O'Neil De Noux Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
As a New Orleans fan, I hoped for an exciting, new-to-me author.
Sadly, the errors and typos in the version make this book unreadable. I have no idea if the same holds true for the print version.
I was 13 years old when I first read this. Ever since I was hooked on O'neil's books. This story takes you through the gritty streets of New Orleans and into the life of Det. Dino LaStanza, a no-holds-bared cop who is determined to crack the case. This is a good old fashioned good guys vs. bad guys novel with attitude. New Orleans attitude. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up all the way.
If I had known the language this author used I would NEVER had bought his books!
Big Kiss productions. It's criminal to let books go into e-print with these typos. Story lines are good.......that's why it's a shame they're represented so poorly.
Another great novel by O'Neil De Noux. We love the New Orleans location and the realistic themes!! Can't wait to read the next one in the series!!
De Noux keeps churning them out and I keep buying. Enjoy the "no brainer" read since he has a tendency to reveal suspect prior to the end. Would like more suspect character development. However, LaStanza is now gone to his riches; so all is good.
Good read. Being from south Louisiana, I love reading about New Orleans and especially law enforcement. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the grammatical errors. With that said, it is volunteers that do the editing so I don't blame them at all. I really do like De Noux's books. Especially about DeStanza.
