Based upon on Roadkill, Tim Dorsey with his primary characters - Serge and Coleman - was not for me. It was too dark and contained too many outlandish characters for my taste. If you want FL novelists, I recommend Carl Hiaasen, Lawrence Sanders and above all, John D. MacDonald. MacDonald's Travis McGee series has the same General view of Florida characters as Dorsey, but drawn with a light touch, inviting the reader to come and laugh with his protagonist. He wrote a number of novels other than the Travis McGee series, but I recommend 'Condominium' to anyone.
