Tim Dorsey - Tiger Shrimp Tango


 
Rating: 5/5

Review:
Another great Serge episode
 
This is another cracking Serge Storms book. The format is familiar: Serge (bouncing on caffeine and adrenaline) and Coleman (hilariously out of his head on weed, booze and heaven knows what else) target Florida’s scumbags with imaginative executions. This time there’s also a hitman on Serge’s tail and Serge is working in tandem with Mahoney, a very funny PI who talks in barely comprehensible hard-boiled jargon, often in the third person. Predictably, mayhem ensues.

It is, as always, very funny, rather exciting and packed with arcane gems about Florida and with gratuitous, rather pantomimic violence visited on the deserving. I have never been disappointed in a Tim Dorsey book, and Tiger Shrimp Tango is among those I’ve enjoyed the most. Perhaps not for the faint-hearted, but otherwise very warmly recommended.
