Carl Hiaasen is easily one of my favorite authors. He always makes me laugh 
and has great story telling skills. I've almost read all of Hiaasen's novels, but somehow this one slipped by me and I'm sorry it did until now. I think I laughed out loud about a dozen times as his characters fumbled through a murder investigation and pro-bass tournament (only Hiaasen could connect those two events!).

I think I laughed out loud about a dozen times as his characters fumbled through a murder investigation and pro-bass tournament (only Hiaasen could connect those two events!).Double Whammy starts with an investigation into cheating at pro-bass tournaments and then escalates quickly into a murder mystery. The main character is a private investigator with homicidal tendencies (actually just a bad temper) and his antics are contantly getting him in trouble. His sidekick, Skink, turns out to be just about the funniest character I've ever seen in print. Anyone who hasn't read Hiaasen yet should start with this novel!!
