'Double Whammy' by Carl Hiaasen

Double Whammy, Carl Hiaasen (3.0)

Carl Hiaasen books are like candy: fun, but you’re pretty sure it’s not good for you. As with all his books, this one is set in Florida. He introduces Skink, the odd hermit seen in many of his later books – part weirdo, part criminal and part ecologist. The mystery is set around competitive bass fishing with the usual murders and mayhem. I found this older book to be a bit meaner spirited and harder to believe, with cartoon characters sprinkled throughout. I prefer his later works, but will admit I laughed more than a few times.
