Carl Hiaasen
Bestselling author Carl Hiaasen serves up a humorous helping of "taut, fast-paced action...crisp and hot” (The New York Times). After dispatching a pistol-packing intruder from his home with the help of a stuffed Marlin head, Mick Stranahan can't deny that someone is out to get him. His now-deceased intruder carries no I.D., and as a former Florida state investigator, Stranahan knows there are plenty of potential culprits. His long list of enemies includes an off point hit man, a personal injury lawyer of billboard fame, a notoriously irritating TV journalist, and a fumbling plastic surgeon. Now, if he wants to keep fishing into his golden years, Stranahan has no choice but to come out of retirement to close this one last case...

"I read this because years ago my mom suggested I read [b:Skinny Dip|13079|Skinny Dip|Carl Hiaasen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1375588741s/13079.jpg|817175]. I finally decided to do so, but then realized it was technically the second book with the main character Mick Stranahan. So, since the library also had this, I decided to give it a listen first. <br/><br/>I hope I like <u>Skinny Dip</u> better.<br/><br/>This book was about 4 times longer than it needed to be. There wasn't much mystery. There were too many gruesome scenes/deaths. Everyone was a caricature/buffoon. Yes, there were times I laughed. However, I feel that more of the time I was thinking "Oh my gosh, we're still on disc 7 of 13?! What more is there to the story?!" Also, I was disappointed by the ending. <br/><br/>Still, I plan to give <u>Skinny Dip</u> a fair try. While I'm waiting out my hold, I'm going to give his YA book [b:Hoot|13083|Hoot|Carl Hiaasen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388350164s/13083.jpg|817164] a go and see if I like it."
