review 1: First of all, how can anyone pass up a book by this title? And second, finally, a Florida-based good-guy serial killer I can support (sorry, Dexter, I haven't figured out your appeal). This book is a blend of Carl Hiaassen and the aforementioned Dexter mysteries, liberally spiced with Florida trivia and a whole lot of crazy. I grabbed this off the shelf in the library, not realizing this a late entry in a series, but I didn't feel like I needed the earlier books to understand what was going on. The underlying plot didn't make sense (not ONE insurance investigator makes an appearance, given all the diamond claims?), but this isn't a book read for the logic. I'm not sure I'll go back and read previous entries in this series, but I'd check out later addit... moreions.
review 2: I liked this book quite a lot. A fun book, a lot like reading Carl Hiaasen. Same setting, same quirky characters. An over-the-top plot featuring a serial killer who has a moral compass of sorts. You'd have to read it to see what that means. A very Hiaasen-like cast of characters including stamp and coin collectors, an almost-heroic ex-governor, a stripper, a crazy sidekick, and a larger-than-life criminal. I'll definitely read more by the author. less
