About this listen
The Sunshine State’s most lovable psychopath, Serge A. Storms, kills it in this zany adventure from the “compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny” (Boston Globe) king of mayhem, New York Times best-selling author Tim Dorsey.
Serge and Coleman are back on the road, ready to hit the next stop on their list of obscure and wacky points of interest in the Sunshine State. This time, Serge’s interest is drawn to one of the largest retirement villages in the world - also known as the site of an infamous sex scandal between a retiree and her younger beau that rocked the community.
What starts out as an innocent quest to observe elders in their natural habitats, sample the local cuisine, and scope out a condo to live out the rest of their golden years soon becomes a Robin Hood-like crusade to recover the funds of swindled residents. After all, our seniors should be revered and respected - they’ve heroically fought in wars, garnered priceless wisdom, and they have the best firsthand accounts of bizarre Floridian occurrences only Serge would know about. But as the residents rally for Serge to seek justice on their behalves, two detectives are hot on the heels of Serge and Coleman’s murderous trail.
In this epic adventure that jumps between the present day and the tumultuous times of the Vietnam War, mystery fans are in for a witty and deliciously violent delight from the twisted imagination of best-selling author Tim Dorsey.

Grange, Florida, is famous for its miracles - the weeping fiberglass Madonna, the Road-Stain Jesus, the stigmata man. And now it has JoLayne Lucks, unlikely winner of the state lottery. Unfortunately, JoLayne's winning ticket isn't the only one. The other belongs to Bodean Gazzer and his raunchy sidekick, Chub, who believe they're entitled to the whole $28 million jackpot. And they need it quickly, to start their own underground militia before NATO troops invade America. But JoLayne Lucks has her own plans for the Lotto money - an Eden-like forest in Grange must be saved from strip-malling.

Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it’s not called the roach patrol for nothing).

A chain of events that will change the lives of each and every character will leave some of them wiser, some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new line of work. With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway, Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

So entertaining! Listen, you won't be sorry.
OMG... when I first started listening to this I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The more I listened, I found it harder and harder to pause the story. It was so entertaining and had me laughing in parts. Since I listen with headphones, I would get some strange looks... lol. This is definitely a story that is not predictable!

Clever craziness
There is enough craziness in Florida to inspire the craziness in this story. One has to feel people are getting what they deserve on this telling. The story works well as an audiobook. The appreciation of Summer thunderstorms is something I can identify with.

Fun and stupid - sit back and have fun!
I had no idea what to expect, and it certainly wasn't good. But it was fun. The narrator was hilarious. The twists and turns had me confused to the very end and I'm not exactly sure I've figured it out yet. But a little patriotism a little peek into the United States and a little peek into a person who it was a little bit too hyper for me! But I liked it I didn't have to think about too much except sitting back and having a good time and learning some things as well. Good show!
