Ensconced in a lovely tropical villa on idyllic Triggerfish Lane, Jim Davenport anticipates the good life to come. But this isn't living-it's Florida-and the neighborhood is not quite what it seems. It's got overly aggressive Little League parents, drug-free Rastafarians, homicidal hookers, unnatural sex and casual violence. Oh, yes, and there's a psychopathic serial killer-cum-Sunshine-State folklorist named Serge A. Storms living directly across the street. So it's only a matter of time before Jim up and actually kills somebody . "Imagine the violence of Edna Buchanan married to the skewed worldview of Dave Barry; now you're ready to meet Tim Dorsey."-Booklist "Triggerfish Twist makes for twisted fun . a must-read book on this summer's list."-Tampa Tribune

"Another great book from Tim Dorsey. He has a great talent for making you laugh, keeping you on the edge of your sit and entertaining you. He throws so many story lines at you and so many words you don't think you can keep up and then at the end he pulls it all together. He is an amazing writer with great characters, great story lines and great books. This is another fun adventure we get to go on with our lovable serial killer Serge and his always high side kick Coleman. The love /hate relation between Mahoney and Serge is in full swing in this book. So many story lines it's hard to describe them all, all I can say; This, just like his other books, will not disappoint you!" — Liz (5 out of 5 stars)

" Another crazy spin around Florida with Serge. "
" Fantastically twisted book where the characters you enjoy the most are a deranged, but lovable, serial killer/historian and his drug-addled sidekick. These books can take a little time to get into and understand, but they're worth the effort if you like you humor dark and crazy. "
" Funny in parts but it takes the plot forever to get going. Dorsey is a completely unoriginal writer who ought to owe Hiaasen some money. "
" I was hoping to find something comparable to Carl Hiassen. Unfortunately, it's not Tim Dorsey. Crazy plots, but not very funny. 1.5 stars would be more accurate. "
" Really enjoyed this book. Nothing deep. Just a good ol' Florida crime novel starring Serge A Storms. "
" Love anything by Tim Dorsey --- but better if you start at the beginning and then go for the entire series. These books are great especially if you know the "old Florida" before Disney came to town. Serge focuses on all the great old Florida tourist icons and roadside attractions. If you are into this stuff this series is a HOOT!! "
" This book got quite a few chuckles out of me. I enjoyed the characters, the story and how it all ended up coming together. "
" First book I read from Mr. Dorsey and loved it so much I started reading as much as I could by him. "
" a little bit of silly summer reading... "
" Once in a while I need a bit of gritty and Serge supplies it. Thanks! "
" A very funny novel, about hit men, an unlucky soul in Florida. "
" Here we go again, you can not explain these storys to normal people except to say if you buy one you will buy them all just to see what happens in the next one. AMAZINGLY FUNNY!!! "
" This was a definite "laugh out loud" book. This was the first book I ever read that made me laugh so hard I cried. It's not the first book in the series but I would still recommend it before the others in the series since it's so near and dear to me. "
" love tim dorsey... i love serge!!!!!! "
" I read this in one afternoon, on a day I was home sick from school. I didn't really enjoy it. Kind of funny, I guess. "
" Not his *absolute best* work. But he's in my gush-gush-gush club. I'll buy this guy's work sight unseen. "
" Did not like it. Did not even finish it. "
" Definitely a funny writer - this was my first of his after hearing he was akin to Hiaasen. I'll definitely be reading more! "
" One of the funnier in the series "
" This is one of my all time favorite books that I've read more times than I can count. It's sharp tongued, witty and is packed with action and laughter. "
" this made me laugh out loud during some of my darkest days. "
" If you want to read any other Tim Dorsey books, read this one first. I think it sets up some of the characters better. "
" Another manic ride through Florida idiosyncrasies with Serge. A funny, fast paced, violent look at the life of suburban Tampa Bay. You know what you are getting with Dorsey, and he doesn't disappoint. "
" Absurd Florida is Carl Hiaasen turf and Dorsey is not Hiaasen. For Florida read Hiaasen and avoid Dorsey. "
" The best of the series so far. "
" My favorite of Tim Dorsey's books "
" Funny. Not always coherent. A must read for anyone who's spent significant time in Tampa and Carl Hiaasin fans. "
" Honestly, it's been a while since I've read it, and all of Tim Dorsey's books to me are very good, and I've read every last one, so one general old timey review.....two thumbs up....for all of them. "
" Good, fun read. Dorsey's humor had me laughing out loud as I read. His characters are lively and relatable (in a strange way), and Serge is definitely a loveable serial killer with an accurate assessment of the state of society. "
" Ok I didn't finish this. I love Hiaasen but I considered what I read a cheap imitation. "
" So much fun. Probably more so because I grew up in Tampa and so I recognized all the landmarks. Also Serge's commencement speech should be the standard by which all other commencements are judged. "
" Twisted humor, bizare characters and a ridiculous story line that made me laugh and kept me reading with I want to know what happens fanaticism. This was a free book, but I will look for others. It was fun, ireverant and well done. "
