Recently Read: Basket Case, by Carl Hiassen. More in the florida-nutcase genre from Mr Hiassen. This story is a murder mystery with a rock & roll angle. It’s not as fun as his eco-terrorist stories with ex-Governer Skink, or Strip Tease (which is hundred times better than the movie), but it motors along nicely, and a couple of the set-pieces are very nicely done.

Yeah, I read that last year. Or, rather, I read an anthology of some of his early books which included it. ‘Double Whammy’ is another good one, if you haven’t read it already…

Duh. I’m being really thick. Double Whammy is the fishing one you were writing about. Excuse me, I’m stupid.

After reading a few Carl Hiassen books, I got a strong urge to never, ever, want to live in Florida.
