Reviews

I didn't like this book at all. I was waiting for the humor and it never showed up. I was interested in the two men that were going fishing and had to find out what happened to them. I wasted money buying the sequel.

True post 1970 Florida

Turn of a phrase, old Florida tourist traps, true life experiences of the lost Floridian souls, redemption of the downtrodden drifter

Florida Roadkill / Triggerfish Twist / Stingray Shuffle were all a lot of fun! Hammerhead Ranch motel felt tough to get through. The plot was all over the place and the story felt a bit rushed in its creation... maybe Dorsey was hustling to get a follow-up to Roadkill out on the shelves. I skipped Orange Crush because I wanted to focus on the Serge Storms series.

The full series was killer. Surge, Coleman, Lenny, Sharon, the whole crew is portrayed in such an upbeat and fun way that you can't help but take enjoyment in the characters even when Surge is murdering. Book 16 was probably the low point in the series but 17, 18, and 19 made up for it. I am looking forward to book 20 in January or Febuary.

I read all separately, not this collection. LOVE Serge Storms! Good stuff!
