Search - Double Whammy

I was stuck in an airport with this book and a laptop. When the laptop battery ran out and I didn't have the power cord with me, I turned to this book. I didn't put it down until it was finished!!!! I even read parts to others who were waiting out the weather just like me. This only goes to prove that the written word will always win out over the computer. When we finally were able to leave, we drew names to decide who got it next. I hope they passed it on as well. If you want to laugh and possibly recognize a few of your more strange acquaintances, get yourself a copy of Double Whammy.

set in Florida, where crooks and con artists are confounded by a persistent (and good looking) PI named RJ Decker, Double Whammy, is a rollicking tale set in the everglades among the crocodiles, televangelists and tournament fishermen. A great read where 'good prevails,' and the 'big one got away.' From the frying pan into the fire the whole way; you wonder how in heck will RJ save his skin, rescue the damsel, and catch the bad guys THIS time?

Living in Florida, working at a theme park, Carl's work hits home for me. I love his humor, a little trashy in all the right places, definitely "R" rated. Great departure..

I have been a long time fan of Carl Hiaasen and this novel did not let me down.

RJ Decker, star tenant of the local trailer park and neophyte private eye, is fishing for a killer. Thanks to a sportsman's scam that's anything but sportsmanlike, there's a body floating in Coon Bog, Florida -- and a lot that's rotten in the murky waters of big-stake, fish tournaments.

A raucous, mordant whopper of a fish story with more weird and bloodthirsty creatures above the water than in it.

Typical Hiaasen south Florida tale of eccentrics and loners thrown together because of greed and its consequences. Well written and funny.
