Typical of Hiassen, this book is a rollicking romp through South Florida, with a cast of barely believatble characters. The equivalent of literary bubblegum, this story traces the adventures of a wife whose husband heaves her overboard off a cruise ship expecting never to see her again...but she doggedly survives, only to remain in hiding until she can both figure out why her husband did it and salve her pride by tormenting him a little bit. You will laugh out loud and wish you could meet some of Hiassen's vivid cast of personnages whom she crosses paths with in her quest to drive her husband nuts.
