Triggerfish Twist
by
Tim Dorsey


Jim moves to Tampa Bay in Florida. According to the statistics it's the third best place in the States for the family... Well, the statistics were wrong and very soon Jim has to deal with malfunctioning Suburbans, con men, drug dealers, killers and stolen cars on his front lawn. Isn't it good that he is such a well-balanced guy?

"Insanely funny" according to the New York Times. Well, I did laugh out loud a couple of times. But generally I would say just mildly entertaining. Ok for a slow weekend. But I won't rush out to buy more books by the same author. Disliked the ending. Felt like he had done his 300 pages and needed to get out of the story quickly....
