Review Quotes
When I first moved to the Islands, I remarked to a new neighbour about how little crime there was...that it was safe to walk the street. "You can thank Gurrey and Grime for that," was the reply. "Our own crime fighters. Better than having the RCMP. Whenever a local crook heard they were on the case, the crook just started laughing. It was a dead giveaway." One of the best reads is how Gurrey and Grime blew the lid off the Case of the Clogged Septic Tank. A crime-fighting force that led the way in the defund the police movement.

In Fish And Dicks the authors have achieved what Hollywood strives for: rapid fire laughs. Unlike Hollywood these jokes are actually funny. Here in the internet age the term LOL is bandied about all too frequently but this book will result in many ACTUAL out-loud-laughs. If you are looking to add two dicks to complete your 'meringue de trois' (their words, not mine) you could do no better than Ben & Jim.

Gurry and Grime, Ben and Jim, a couple of dicks from Brier Island, literally. The two good old boys run the Digby Neck and Islands Fish-Gutting Service and Detective Agency. Dicks, as in detectives, as opposed to, well you know, but there's an argument for that as well. This pair of n'er do wells, good hearts, graduates of Nova Scotia's public school system, bounce from case to case in their official agency vehicle, a 1964 Buick Skylark converted to look like a truck, horny as heck, but determined to be the best detectives in Brier Island history. They're likely the only detectives ever from the area, but In their own unique way they do manage to solve the case of the purloined periwinkles, crack the bingo cartel and resolve the balancing rock affair among other cases. Their plan by the way to put a fast food restaurant on top of the balancing rock and call it the leaning tower of pizza lit up the phone lines on my radio talk show with dozens calling the idea brilliant. Oh my.
Gurry and Grime, Ben and Jim, yes indeed, a real couple of dicks. Enjoy their exploits in Fish and Dicks, Cases From the Files of the Digby Neck and Islands Fish-Gutting Service and Detective Agency.
