It is, in fact, a blast - Financial TimesThis is Hiaasen back on top form and picking his targets with gleeful malice - Shots magIs there a funnier novelist on the planet than Carl Hiaasen? I hope not, because after nearly injuring myself reading his latest comic thriller I don’t think my poor body could take it - Mail on SundayLike a really good sandwich, made with a winningly simple recipe - Daily MailAbout The Author
