Well Done I like amusing South Florida mysteries and this fills the bill. The "hero" trying to get in with the local mob after moving from NYC was the high point of the book. He goes to an awful lot of trouble to save his no good half brother and his likeable bimbo later on in the story. And our hero turns out to be a pretty good guy in the end. Good mindless, entertaining reading.
Very Funny This book is hysterical. I love the keys and everything about them and the descriptions of the keys are excellent. The humor is very appreciated.Couldn't put it down even when I reached the end.... I have never read the same book twice in one weekend. Before. Even this jaded reader was surprised at the turns of this plot. You can smell Key West, the descriptions are so keen. And he does a wonderful thing in tracing a character's emotions in elegant detail - then lets you hear how they clomp out of the character's mouth. This is the twitchiest, funniest, most deftly written book I've run across in years. Why isn't it the funniest movie? I don't know - but I feel I have already seen it. Twice!
