Mick Stranahan is an Irish ex-cop, ex-District-Attorney-employee, veteran of five marriages (all to waitresses) and numerous romances. After leading such turbulent and tumultuous life, it is no wonder that he wants a little peace at his very rustic house in a secluded area near the sea which is famously called Stiltsville Village.
But, one day, the peace was suddenly shattered when a hit man attacked Stranahan at his own house. A very unwelcome act, not to mention life-threatening, which was quickly remedied with a quick wit and reflexes and a cooperative marlin wall mount... Days after the incident, Stranahan's life quickly became more interesting with amazing speed.
I read this book after I read its sequel, Skinny Dip. It affects my enjoyment of the book only a little. This book is funny and hilarious too, with Hiaasen's standard fare - the environmentalists, nature's enemies, and a criminal case that pits those opposing sides against one another.
A very refreshing read. I recommend this book for the ones who want or need hearty laugh or just light reading.
