Squeeze Me
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A hilarious novel of social and political intrigue, set against the glittering backdrop of Florida’s gold coast, from the author of Skinny Dip and Razor Girl
“If you could use some wild escapism right now, Hiaasen is your guy.” —The New York Times
WITH A NEW EPILOGUE
At the height of Palm Beach’s charity ball season, Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons, a prominent member of geriatric high society, suddenly vanishes during a swank gala. Kiki Pew was a founding member of the Potussies, a group of women dedicated to supporting the President, who spends half the year at the “Winter White House” just down the road. Meanwhile, Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, is called to the island to deal with a monster-sized Burmese python that has taken residency in a tree. But the President is focused on the disappearance of Kiki Pew. Never one to miss an opportunity to play to his base, he immediately declares her a victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth, which now lies in the middle of the road, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady’s motorcade to a grinding halt. Irreverent, ingenious, and uproariously entertaining, Squeeze Me perfectly captures the absurdity of our times.

Liberal leaning, with a sniff of TDS. A few entertaining parts but overall not worth the time. Nothing like the hiassen of old

Bought this to get away from politics. My fault for not having read the reviews. Lost me with the SS agent screwing 1st Lady. Really stupid. Love the sarcasm about Palm Beach.

Normally very entertaining reads, this one from Hiassen is fraught with efforts to display his Trump Derangement Syndrome at every opportunity to the point it seriously detracts from being able to enjoy the book. Also, early on a significant amount of firearms ignorance is displayed when he says Angie checked her Glock “to be sure the safety was on”. A minimum of research would show that Glocks have no external safety to be “on” or “off”. The safety is in the trigger mechanism and only “off” when the trigger is depressed by the user. Not his best work at all.

A little heavy on the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
