Double Whammy

By: Carl Hiaasen

Narrated by: George Wilson

Length: 13 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

"Robert Clinch loved his boat more that anything else in the world...more than his wife...his kids...his girlfiend...even more than the largemouth bass he was pursuing." Thus begins a twisted tale of murder in the world of big-stakes bass fishing tournaments. Filled with ex-wives, evangelists, and an armed pit-bull, this is a story that could only be concocted by Carl Hiaasen, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, New York Times best-selling author, and czar of Florida noir fiction.

Critic reviews

"The cast of bizarre characters and the suspenseful events confirm Hiaasen's reputation for creating singular villains and heroes. While he's probably unpopular among some fellow citizens in his home state, he will certainly please readers who appreciate the Swiftian wit in his cautionary tales." (Publishers Weekly)
"The action is swift, and there are some very funny scenes." (Library Journal)

THERE IS NOBODY LIKE HIAASEN

LOVE HIS QUIRKY CHARACTERS AND STORIES. A story every fisherman should read.

You can feel yourself in the grass with the mud beneath your feet just waiting to get hit by a gator.........

Funny and Witty

Needed to backtrack to the first book to this series to find it as fun and interesting as the other works of Carl. Great story and interesting characters keep me listening over by daily allotment. Ready to hit next book on this series.

Terrific

Terrific storytelling from a bygone age. You younger people will be surprised by the racism and homophobia but that's how it was in the '70s and '80s. It was progress showing a diverse cast of characters and acknowledging the unwarranted negative treatment of minorities and non-CIS. The story is fast paced and hilarious. And the good guys win.

Great story, well done!

Very good story, with excellent reader. You can’t help but root for the miscreants in this one.

Not one of my favorites.

I love most of Carl’s books but this one was not one of my favorites. I kept waiting for it to get better but it didn’t.

Fun twists and interesting story

The characters are fun, the twists make the storyline interesting. As a Floridian, I enjoy the stories from this author.

First For Me

This was the first time I have listened to any books by this Author. All I can say is I am hooked! While the story was your typical whodunit everything else about it was exceptional. I loved the characters as well as the witty dialog. I hate to compare authors but his dialog is as good as Elmore Leonards. I caught myself laughing out loud sometimes and I hardly ever do that so if you want a fun ride through a good story I highly recommend this book.

southern comfort

Double Whammy is another great listen. There is great literature and then there is great audible. There are very few books that make me laugh out loud as much as a Carl Hiaasen book read by George Wilson. You wonder where he gets his characters and then you read about the bank robber who used his own bank deposit slip to write the holdup note and you know-they are us. Some of us at least.
