The author specializes in overly satirical send-ups of life in Florida. His books are very funny and this one is hysterical. He layers onto the usual crew of wacky locals a cast of characters at the winter White House in Palm Beach. It's called Casa Bellicosa and the Secret Service call name for the Trump-like prez is 'Mastadon'. One of the prez's admirers, a member of the wealthy widows gang known as the Potussies, is consumed by a python at a PB fundraiser and off we go. If you have never thought the current administration could make you laugh, read this book. One of the better lines is a reference to the Potussie-sponsored 'Very Unimpeachable You' gala where Mastodon plans to sing 'Leather and Lace' with Roseanne Barr. Funny as hell.
