What I Didn’t Like:
- A full cast of characters with a lot going on. There are times when you jump to someone you haven’t checked in with in a bit and have to struggle to remember who they are to the story.
- Some of the humor might go a bit too far and offend some people. If you’re easily offended by farting, jokes about death, or dark humor you can probably skip this one.
- Some obvious or convenient twists to wrap up loose ends. This makes the entire thing a little predictable, which is never good in a mystery.
What I Did Like:
- Humor. My personal favorite type of humor is the kind that surprises you. This is a darker book full of twists and danger but you regularly laugh out loud at the characters and the figurative language.
- Danger. The characters spend much of the book fleeing from obvious dangers. That gives the entire story a sort of heightened sense of awareness. You read quicker because you sense the danger.
- Some characters with enough promise to carry a sequel.
Who Should Read This One:
- Fans of Carl Hiaasen. I see a lot of similarities in their style.
