Praise for Tourist Season"Brash mystery adventure...ferocious fun....There's a fresh breeze, if not a full-scale hurricane, up from Miami. Hiaasen, himself a columnist for the Miami Herald, writes with sardonic wit in a style so breezy that you want to hang on to the mast with both hands.”—Marilyn Stasio, The Columbus Dispatch"A terrific send-up of Floridiana...zany...satire as withering as a Dade County frost at the peak of citrus harvest...one novelist who never seems to forget for a minute that a chief purpose of any work of fiction is to entertain.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer“A remarkable example of what talented writers are doing these days with the mystery novel.”—Tony Hillerman, The New York Times Book Review“Makes Miami Vice look like Terry and the Pirates....I can't remember another novel that combines violence and comedy as successfully.”—John D. MacDonald, New York Times bestselling author of the Travis McGee series“Fiendish suspense and wicked black humor...does for Florida what Candy did for sex, and what Semi-Tough did for football. A rollicking, exciting, exceptional book.”—John Katzenbach, New York Times bestselling author of Hart’s War“Ferocious and ferociously funny. You race through its pages at a gallop.”—John Godey, New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three“A most engaging novel....Hiaasen has perfectly blended black humor with stark terror.”—Associated Press“A wonderful achievement, continuously inventive and surprising, very funny but deadly serious beneath the laughs. Hiassen's voice is his own...a hell of a job.”—Pete Hamill, New York Times bestselling author of Forever“Wondrously told! Tourist Season is what we read novels for—high entertainment and high excitement.”—Richard Condon, author of Prizzi’s Honor Carl Hiaasen is a syndicated columnist for The Miami Herald and the author of many bestselling novels, including Razor Girl, Bad Monkey, Sick Puppy, Lucky You, Strip Tease, and Tourist Season. He lives in Florida with his family.
The first sign of trouble is a Shriner's fez washed up on a Miami beach. The next is a suitcase containing the almost-legless body of the local chamber of commerce president found floating in a canal...
The locals are desperate to keep the murders under wraps and the tourist money flowing. But it will take a reporter-turned–private eye to make sense of a caper that mixes football players, politicians, and one very hungry crocodile in this classic mystery that GQ called “one of the top ten destination reads of all time.”
Dark, Not Hiaasen's Best On the plus side, Tourist Season had the usual Hiaasen over-the-top wit.On the down side, it was a bit too dark for my tastes. It may not have come off the same way in the 80's when it was written, but terrorism played for laughs just does not work in this day and age.We are used to the bad guys getting their comeuppance in horrible, outrageous ways from Haiaasen, but in this case so do a lot of victims whose only crimes are vacationing or retiring in Florida. I found that off-putting, especially since Hiaasen obviously has a lot of sympathy for these particular bad guys, who are killing random people in hopes of driving people away from Florida in order to ebb the development that is hurting the environment.Not an altogether bad read. Funny at times. Uncomfortable at times. There are many other better options from Hiaasen.An amazing tale. This is a great read, perhaps less speckled with Hiaasen's brilliant humor than his other works, but with a far more poignant message. To say more would give away the story. Having read all his novels at least twice, I think this one may contain the most important statement. Very highly recommended.The Orange Bow!I Game will never be the same Tourists and civic leaders are being targeted by a rag-tag group of terrorists in Miami. The idea is to rid Florida of developers, bankers and, in fact, everybody. A newspaperColumnist, an inept Cuban bomb maker, a washed up ex-football player and a Seminole Indian hatch their plans.When the ultimate target, the Orange Bowl Queen is discovered, Brian Keyes is hired by her father as body guard and "baby sitter" . It's not all bad. The girl is 19, pretty, and no air-headed pageant winner. Brian comes to respect her and more. The plot is fast paced, the action realistic, and the characters are by turns funny, tragic and idealistic . There are twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages.
