Mermaid Confidential

A Novel

De: Tim Dorsey

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Serge A. Storms gives condo living a try in this latest acid-splashed Florida crime caper from the “insanely funny” (New York Times Book Review) Tim Dorsey.

Serge A. Storms and his permanently baked sidekick, Coleman, have decided to pump the brakes and live on island time. After years of manic road tripping across their beloved Sunshine State, the irrepressible anti-heroes drop anchor in the Florida Keys. They settle down in Pelican Bay, a thriving condo complex with scenic views and friendly neighbors. But the community is at war with investors who are buying up units and leasing them to young vacationers who party at all hours. With their little slice of heaven on the line, Serge takes it upon himself to convince the tourists to move on and quickly becomes a local favorite.

Meanwhile, the island chain’s long and rich smuggling heritage is causing mayhem—a gang war erupts when a local drug lord passes the family business to his young, enterprising son, and the sun-loving residents are suddenly dodging bullets.

Luckily, Florida’s most lovable serial killer is there to help!

outstanding and hilarious

This edition is the most fun Dorsey has been in a while. Just outstanding.

Once again laugh outloud antics

Serge and Coleman are on a hiatus. Slowing down and enjoying life in Florida (as only they can do). And, I loved how the title came about!

Need more

Reading series from start to finish and only 1 left! Guess I'll have to start over. Every book is better than the last! This would make a "killer" #Netflix or #Prime series - just be sure to keep the narrator.

If only Serge really existed....

My husband and I listen to the Serge A Storms books together. These are by far the BEST books we have EVER read pertaining to Florida. As Florida people ourselves, we really appreciate all the places mentioned in the books and are trying to hit all the"Serge" spots Every time we go to a specific part of Florida for vacation or otherwise. ai really hope none of the two characters are killed off (exception for Coleman, too late for him), as these two should be like Batman, the undying heroes that form a legacy. i really hope Serge fathered a child we do t know about so that when he passes on, the offspring can continue. Also, this narrator makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. The prior choice was great, but not for this series, my opinion only, of course .

Surge comes through again

Another great story by Tom Dorsey. I love the Florida trivia mixed with Surge’s ingenious bonus rounds.
Surge has a soft spot for us senior citizens. I’m waiting for him to discover the Florida model railroad show circuit.
