Publisher's summary

The Sunshine State’s most lovable psychopath, Serge A. Storms, kills it in this zany adventure from the “compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny” (Boston Globe) king of mayhem, New York Times best-selling author Tim Dorsey.

Serge and Coleman are back on the road, ready to hit the next stop on their list of obscure and wacky points of interest in the Sunshine State. This time, Serge’s interest is drawn to one of the largest retirement villages in the world - also known as the site of an infamous sex scandal between a retiree and her younger beau that rocked the community.

What starts out as an innocent quest to observe elders in their natural habitats, sample the local cuisine, and scope out a condo to live out the rest of their golden years soon becomes a Robin Hood-like crusade to recover the funds of swindled residents. After all, our seniors should be revered and respected - they’ve heroically fought in wars, garnered priceless wisdom, and they have the best firsthand accounts of bizarre Floridian occurrences only Serge would know about. But as the residents rally for Serge to seek justice on their behalves, two detectives are hot on the heels of Serge and Coleman’s murderous trail.

In this epic adventure that jumps between the present day and the tumultuous times of the Vietnam War, mystery fans are in for a witty and deliciously violent delight from the twisted imagination of best-selling author Tim Dorsey.

So entertaining! Listen, you won't be sorry.

OMG... when I first started listening to this I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The more I listened, I found it harder and harder to pause the story. It was so entertaining and had me laughing in parts. Since I listen with headphones, I would get some strange looks... lol. This is definitely a story that is not predictable!

Clever craziness

There is enough craziness in Florida to inspire the craziness in this story. One has to feel people are getting what they deserve on this telling. The story works well as an audiobook. The appreciation of Summer thunderstorms is something I can identify with.

Interesting

It took a while for the story to come together, but the characters Surge & Colman were a hoot. The narrator did an excellent job.

Fun and stupid - sit back and have fun!

I had no idea what to expect, and it certainly wasn't good. But it was fun. The narrator was hilarious. The twists and turns had me confused to the very end and I'm not exactly sure I've figured it out yet. But a little patriotism a little peek into the United States and a little peek into a person who it was a little bit too hyper for me! But I liked it I didn't have to think about too much except sitting back and having a good time and learning some things as well. Good show!

Put this story in your "Happy Box"!

I loved everything about this novel. Serge Storm is my guy! I was depressed when I started this (Pandemic, Marxist riots etc. you know) but I feel great now. Much cheaper than a shrink.
