Tim Dorsey - Clownfish Blues


Rating: 5/5

Review:
Another Serge treat

Clownfish Blues is another hugely enjoyable episode in the Serge Storms saga. The plot this time (as though it matters) involves lottery scams and faked TV “news” in which, needless to say, Serge and Coleman brilliantly and hilariously dispose of the scumbags and various Bad Guys while, of course, manically pursuing Florida’s diverse history. For example, Serge insists on visiting Sopchoppy:
“This place is so remote and tiny, yet has all kinds of bonus feaures as both the self-proclaimed ‘music capital of North Florida’ and ‘earthworm harvesting capital’ of the whole state. That is a bold range of culture.”

With Tim Dorsey’s enthusiastic research and compelling, madcap storytelling and a welcome return of a couple of characters from Shark Skin Suite, this is another very funny and involving read. Very warmly recommended.
