Wild, wacky, weird, sometimes offensive, with good plot pacing. A solid beach read but ultimately not very memorable.

This book focuses on your typically Hiaasenesque crazy/illegal/humorous goings on in Florida. In this case, the arm of a local businessman is caught by a fisherman and a local policeman tries to find out what happens to the rest of the body. This leads gis all over Florida, and the Bahamas.
I wish I could say this book was as funny as the previous Hiaasen books I've read, but I don't think it was. It felt as if he was writing a Hiaasen book "by the numbers" rather than trying to be new or inventive.

I wasn’t in the mood for something like this and I’m not feeling it right now. It wasn’t bad, I just don’t want to spend time reading it and I don’t mind not knowing how the story ends.
