No particular order necessary. Skink is a recurring character, but this is the first time — I think so anyway — that Carl aged him. (I might be wrong about that. I’m no Marilou Henner— with that type memory. . .that I can’t remember the name of.
)
Skink is an ex-governor of Florida who gave up politics and disappeared into the Everglades when he could no longer tolerate the b&@#&%i/. He emerges in the storylines when it is time to administer his unique brand of justice. Hiaasen fans are always glad to see the villains get what’s coming to them. Skink takes care of things in his own creative way.
If you go to carlhiaasen.com and click on the tab that says
Books for Grownups, you’ll see all his titles.
He also writes books for young middle school age kids.
The first one I read was
Stormy Weather. It’s about the types of cons who crawl out from under rocks after a hurricane. I think my favorite over the years was
Skin Tight.
His books are not going to win any Pulitzers. They are just fun to read.
