Anyone who has read Carl Hiaasen knows his sense of humor is kind of weird and offbeat. Bad Monkey is no exception. There is also copious swearing. Still overall it's a good offbeat story so far. The book was published in June of 2013 by Knopf.
Yancy was a policeman until very recently. Now he has been busted down to "roach patrol" aka Restaurant Health Inspector. But, he has had a human arm in his freezer until recently. It was found off the coast with a shark's tooth in it. They were able to identify the missing man, but Yancy thinks it looks more like murder than accidental causes. Therefore, he is investigating the case on his own in hopes that if he solves it, it will get him rehired by the Sheriff as an officer of the law.
Teaser: Yancy is talking with the Miami Coroner, Rosa, over lunch. He's taken a fancy to her.
"That I'd rather not discuss."
"Too bad," Rosa said. "My life coach told me not to sleep with anybody who harbors a murky past."
"What about a murky present?"
I have a love-hate relationship with Carl Hiaasen. I haven't read this one but your teaser makes me think that I should.

So far I am enjoying it more than Star Island.
DeleteGood teaser. Have never read this author, but keep seeing this cover crop up. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteDespite the growing tension, I have a strong suspicion the relationship will work out in the end ;) great teaser!

Thanks for coming by and sharing your teaser. It sounds interesting. The earth yawning open for him is a great line.
DeleteSounds like another good one from Hiaasen.
