There are a number of wonderful Florida novelists who write what I call “Comic Crime Capers.” None is better than Carl Hiassen. He has a new novel out called “Squeeze Me.” If you are amused by the weird things that happen in Florida that are even more bizarre than any novel, you may well like this book. Get ready to laugh hard. Remember the ex-Florida governor who lives in a swamp, eats road-kill, and wears only boots and a shower cap? Remember the guy who has his amputated arm replaced with a weed-whacker he uses to attack people? Remember the guy who breaks into nursing homes to steal Fentanyl pain patches off of sleeping patients, then falls for one of the women? All Hiassen. Most villains get what they have coming. The punishment usually fits the crime.
I haven’t read it yet, but I’ve just read the review of it below.
