Mr YD and I are both voracious readers, with divergent tastes. However we do have a few things in common:

Carl Hiaasen is one of them.

I recommend reading Hiaasen in order just to savor the development of one particular character. Each book is a stand alone in terms of plot but this character is one of a kind!! When he surfaces in one of these books, you know you are in for a ride!

Hiassen also participated in a serial novel several years ago: Naked Came the Manatee. The authors are all well known South Florida authors and each of them brings his/her own characters into the story. If you run across a copy, get it!!
