Ex-reporter Joe Winder had been working in the public relations department of a sleazy family entertainment park, The Amazing Kingdom of Thrills, when he chanced upon a news-breaking story inspired by the disappearance of two blue-tongued voles and the bizarre death of Orky, the killer whale.©1991 Carl Hiaasen (P)1992 Recorded Books Dark Humour Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Had us in stitches from start to finish.
Although his stories deal with the profoundly serious issues surrounding greedy and thoughtless environmental destruction in Florida (and he gets that message over very effectively) he manages to do it with huge dollops of humour and pathos.
Can’t wait to hear about Skinks next adventures!

Hiaasen at his best

Great story and narration. Very funny as usual. Mr H. hits just the right blend between conservation and tomfoolery. A cast of characters that always leaves you snickering.

Classic Hiaasen!

Always enjoy these books - all follow a similar vein and the reader is key to enjoyment - if you like his work, you will enjoy this

Usual fayre from Carl

Hiassen is unnervingly observant of human behaviour. Narratives of excellent and charmingly crafted characters (caricatures?) weave together in a crescendo of ludicrous nefariousness. George Wilson's perfect dry delivery made it impossible not to laugh out loud.

Funny and horribly perceptive

Good plot, ridiculous characters, funny lines, made me laugh out loud. Slightly obvious ending but I felt it the book had a serious message in a comedy message without being too up itself. Really enjoyed the listen.

Genuinely Funny
