Tourist Season
Take a trip to exotic South Florida with this dark, funny book that established Carl Hiaasen as one of the top mystery writers in the game.
The first sign of trouble is a Shriner's fez washed up on a Miami beach. The next is a suitcase containing the almost-legless body of the local chamber of commerce president found floating in a canal...
The locals are desperate to keep the murders under wraps and the tourist money flowing. But it will take a reporter-turned–private eye to make sense of a caper that mixes football players, politicians, and one very hungry crocodile in this classic mystery that GQ called “one of the top ten destination reads of all time.”

It has all the Florida history, sarcasm and humor for which he is known. But there is also his deep concern for the continued destruction of Florida and with it a plea to stop and take notice. The book is both funny and sad. I look out my window in St. Augustine and can see his concern.

I ran across this book- I knew the author wrote Hoot.., a young adult book that got Newberry recognition.. so I thought this might be a good read. Quirky characters: Skip, a disillusioned reporter, a former football pro who wants to be a rebel, guy who likes to blow things up, and a Native American anarchist joint together to try to drive people out of Florida… and one erstwhile price detective, a former girlfriend and a Beauty Queen round out the cast. A story of how the rebels are defeated, sometimes by dumb luck and sometimes by smart deduction, wrapped in humor- it’s a darn fun read!

A book for the time we now live in. I know it’s fiction but I think it could really happen. Makes you think. Makes you reconsider the choices you make in life and the consequences they have. Another book read and loved by Carl Hiaason.
