In bestseller Dorsey’s delightfully madcap 25th crime novel featuring Serge A. Storms (after 2021’s Tropic of Stupid), vigilante serial killer Serge and his stoner pal, Coleman, take a break from road trips and criminal pursuits to become responsible tenants at Pelican Bay, a bustling condominium complex in the Florida Keys. But, alas, the condo’s fun-loving community spirit has given way to petty squabbles, drunk and disorderly behavior, gun violence, and malicious prank calls to police, with boisterous, disruptive renters causing havoc within the complex. Finding themselves in the thick of things, Serge and Coleman are encouraged to take suitable action against troublesome occupants on behalf of their friendly neighbors. Meanwhile, a blast across from Pelican Bay on a neighboring key, which injures dozens, including members of the infamous Millan cartel, heralds the onset of a turf war between the cartel and the Benzappa family, and a gang of murderous drug smugglers with a treasure map head for the Keys to unearth a hoard of buried cash. The suspenseful, seemingly unconnected subplots imaginatively intertwine as Dorsey brings everything to a suitably vicious and explosive finale. This fiendishly funny adventure is irresistible. Agent: Nat Sobel, Sobel Weber Assoc.

The real surprise of Dorsey's 25th mystery starring serial killer Serge Storm and drug-addled Coleman is that there is a 25th installment. Serge wants to slow down and settle in a condo community, so he drags a reluctant Coleman into his plan. But wherever Serge is, mayhem and head-scratching, eye-rolling events follow. With so much going on, past and present, Serge's HOA condo troubles and the endless activity required to "relax" seem to be an afterthought. Florida does not shine brightly in this or any other book in the series, and perhaps it's time to let this gang of misfits retire for real before they realize they have outlived their entertainment value, and their shtick is more slapstick than humor. Oliver Wyman narrates all voices, old, young, female, male, stoned and delusional, and does his best with this tired material. VERDICT Longtime series fans will enjoy this entry with its usual offering of murder, sex, Florida-isms, well-known tourist sites, and offbeat characters. Newbies should skip this entry and start from the beginning of the series when the material was fresh and original.--Laura Brosie
