review 1: I really like Dorsey's sociopath, serial killer hero Serge. He always makes me laugh. This story is no different.He and his sidekick Coleman are preparing for the holiday season, dressed up in elf costumes. The idea is that since crooks are blending in with the crowds to pick out victims, Serge and Coleman will blend in to pick out the crooks. And it works!Then, meeting up with an old friend (???), Serge decides he wants to be normal like Jim. This entails renting a house across from Jim and spying on him so he can trot over in time for dinner. Of course, he brings his and Coleman's share: leftovers from KFC.For some strange reason, Jim's wife doesn't like Serge and Coleman and things kind of go downhill quickly.As always, the bad guys are taken care of (in unusual fashion... mores that fit the crimes) and Serge and Coleman emerge victorious.Nice read.
review 2: Thanks to Serge, I have been reminded of the true meaning of Christmas: gaudy decorations, trampling shoppers for those last minute gifts, inviting myself to Christmas dinner. No wait, that's not it! How about reverting to childhood to enjoy the simple things and allowing my heart to grow and empathize to the plight of others? Or maybe this is just another hilarious romp through Florida with Serge and Coleman. less

A Christmas romp with Serge & Coleman. Peace on earth or at least in Florida.
