definitely not like hiaasen in his solo stories

a good story. not advtwisted as hiaasen's normal fare but still a quality read it in this case listen

captive

I always enjoy Carl Hiaasen's books he keeps me interested, intrigued, and amused. His characters are always brought to life in his rich visual details.

Good - not great

I thought this was ok but seemed to miss Haissen's normal Florida zaniness. Maybe he listened to his coauthor too much

Disappointing...

Not up to the usual Hiaasen standards, at least for me. I’ll probably give his next book a pass.

Stay away from Miami

sloppy. disjointed. no decent protagonist. lacking detail. Is weapon used to knock out rich guy wiped clean of fingerprints? Most elevators won't move until a floor is selected or it is called, no matter how many times you press Door Close.
