I just love stories about the crazy things that happen in Florida, fictional and non-fictional! Dave Barry has provided a fun read in his latest novel, Swamp Story (#1,139). It is set, fittingly, in the Everglades where skanky characters are trying variously, to make a hit reality TV show, search for a legendary trove of lost Confederate gold, and gin up interest in an old Bait & Beer store on the Tamiami Trail by creating a mythical Melon Monster haunting the swamp.
Mix in a beautiful woman, a baby, a few drug dealers, social media sensations and an Eastern European criminal organization, and you have more than enough action to keep the pot (!) boiling merrily along. Oh, and then there's the Python Challenge and a hungry gator. What more could you ask for in a great summer beach read?
