The Stingray Shuffle

By: Tim Dorsey

Narrated by: George K. Wilson

In his latest bizarre concoction, Dorsey picks up - sort of - various plot strands from his earlier books, including Florida Roadkill, Hammerhead Ranch Motel, and Orange Crush. There's still the matter, you see, of the briefcase full of cash, and still unresolved are the stories of Serge Storms, the serial killer and history buff; Johnny Vegas, the startlingly handsome virgin; Jethro Maddox, the Hemingway look-alike; and Paul, the Passive-Aggressive Private Eye. Fans of Dorsey's magnificently off-kilter adventures will be thrilled to rejoin these characters and to meet a host of new ones, including Mr. Granda, the leader of a down-and-out drug cartel who is looking to buy a submarine, and Ralph Krunkleton, one of America's very worst novelists, whose novel The Stingray Shuffle features prominently in the goings-on. A brilliantly constructed romp that is part thriller, part farce, and entirely, gloriously, deliriously wacky.

Each one gets to me more than the previous

Before listening to George Wilson do Tim Dorsey justice I was searching for the inspiration of others to wonder why I would bust into uncontrolable bursts of laughter while driving. No other writer can find the humor in history combined with current events like Dorsey, & nobody says it better than Wilson.

Ridiculous but funny

Laugh a minute writing. The absurd antics and dialog make it a fun listen.

Many think Florida is a little weird, this takes great fun with that.

The narration was wonderful. The voice of Serge brings back memories, to me, of a hotshot in my small town youth.

I do think his Russian impression is a bit too close to Boris from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Only missing Natasha. Still funny.

Just fun.

Poor Narration

Narrator was mostly monotone. ugh. i sooo love dorsey's books, but not this narration of it.

Wicked,profane, funny through and through!

Narrator's ability to switch characters thoroughly entertaining! Choice of Florida as a location adds to the willing suspension of disbelief, and interplay of totally despicable characters.

great story

loved it, great author and the narrator is aways great can't wait for the next one.
