They live and work in a dizzying mix of moguls and starlets, elaborate parties, outrageous and sordid actions; a place where sex and drugs are open and the big deals are undercover.

Historia
After 10 years of cleaning up the dirt on Atlanta's streets, Callahan Garrity is trading in her badge for a broom and a staff of house cleaners. But, though the uniform is a little different, Callahan soon finds herself right back in the middle of a mystery when a client's pretty, pious 19-year-old nanny is gone...along with the jewelry, silver, and a few rather sensitive real estate documents. Before she knows it, the meticulous Callahan is up to her elbows in a case involving illicit love triangles, crooked business deals, long-distance scams, and a dead body.

Fantastic narration, hilarious book
The most amazing aspect of Black Marble is the narration I listen to a lot of books on audible. But I have never heard a better expression of many different characters, male and female, various ages and accents. They come to life and are so easily recognized when each reappears. And what story! Police procedurals abound in book and film, but you will never experience one like this. There is a ton of humor and pathos. I will now check out another Wambaugh novel! The film is great too

Hard to put down
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Wambaugh's characters are a bit over the top and can startle you initially. This narrator held my attention throughout. He made you feel part of the story. He made me laugh out loud at times and sad at others. A good story and a great team.

The end was lacking
If you do not like animal cruelty, racial slurs, strong language then do not listen to this book. The ending was strange. The beginning was ok, but just went downhill from there.

Wambaughs tormented characters
The black marble spends most of the book developing character and less time on the caper.

Needed to reread a favorite book from my 20's
This book was a family favorite when I was in my 20's. The book was read by my sister, dad, mother, aunt and so many more. Being poorly bound we held the book together with a rubber band as we passed it to yet another person. All of us loved it.
A fan of Joseph Wambaugh from that day forward.
We told everyone that read the book to wait for it, you'll be glad you did. This holds true today too. But now, after rereading it 30 years later I was taken back to the '70s like no other book can take you back. Things that were common to say and do are here for you to laugh at and reminisce. Yes, we have gotten more sophisticated and polished but we once were very politically un-correct.
Listen to a great detective finds his way back to sanity and a '70s gal blow fizz out of her eyes. (Yep, those damn dog poodle perms.) Leisure suit junkies and old Pasadena run amuck in this fun romp as a would be master mind picks the black marble again and again. Mr. Wambaugh wrote true for the time with plenty of true-to-life laughs.

Wambaugh is a great story teller
What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
I liked Oliver's voice for the Russian characters in this book - he also did a good job with Natalie. The depth of the voices he used helped the listener to understand the characters - why they did what they did - they became three dimensional and you actually cared about them.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
I fell in love with the Hollywood station series - then I listened to Harbor Nocturne and found it captivating so when I stumbled onto Black marble I had to listen to it to see if Joseph Wambaugh's first novels were as good as his later ones. I found the writing to be good - Joseph has definitely matured in his writing - I would recommend all of his works as I said he is a great story teller.
