Bad Monkey, Hiaasen - B

          For decades, this author has been telling laugh out loud  stories about overly caricatured Florida characters. This particular novel is about a decade old and is receiving publicity because there is a new Apple TV limited series with Vince Vaughn. Only Hiaasen could blend together a cop demoted and moved to the roach squad in the Keys, his pathologist girlfriend who likes having sex on a morgue table, a medicare fraudster who has his own arm amputated to fake his death, an unscrupulous builder bribing everyone, a voodoo lady in the Bahamas who rides a Medicare approved scooter, a runaway Bonnie and Clyde from Oklahoma who are notorious because he was a high school student and she was his teacher, a nitwit deck hand, a weed soaked pilot, a conch fisherman, and on and on. Always fun.
