by Carl Hiaasen, 1988, Audiobook published in 2004 narrated by George Wilson, Recorded Books

This is the first “Skink” book written by Hiassen so it provides information about this character who subsequently appears in many of the author’s novels. The book probably isn’t Hiassen’s best book, but it is humorous and has some very unique (crazy?) characters.

The book is about a bass fishing tournament and a real estate developer in Florida. The developer is a fraud, and the fishing tournament is rigged. Sounds like Florida?

If I had any criticism of the book, some of the events and characters are just a bit too much over the top. He needs to dial it back.
