    When Chaz Perron's wife discovers that he is running a scam (posing as a marine biologist to doctor water samples so that an agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the Everglades), he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner. Unlucky for Chaz, Joey survives clutching a bale of Jamaican pot. Rescued from the Atlantic by a former police officer, Mick Stranahan, she decides not to report him but instead haunt and taunt him, with Mick's help, by playing dead.

    Phillip says: "Summer's Best Read"

    Story

    This was the first Carl Hiaasen book I've listened to, so I won't dispute the raves he's gotten from other listeners. But what started out as an amusing story just fell flat for me, and I thought the ending was rather abrupt -- not the kind of satisfying revenge by the wife that I was expecting. The prolific use of the f-word and the sex jokes were tedious for me, and could offend some listeners. Narrator was very good.
