I love the element of suspense in this novel! It was griping from start to finish. This is the first novel by Carl Hiaasen that I have had the pleasure of reading, and it won't be the last.
It all starts on a romantic cruise vacation. A lovely couple on an anniversary trip out for a stroll on the deck at night. The night takes a turn for the worse when the husband pitches his wife overboard. He suspects that she will die instantly, but underestimates his wife greatly.
She ends up barely alive on an island having been rescued by a fisherman at sea. The two of them set on a mission to prove that her husband planned to murder her, and also to find out why.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this story. It was quite funny at times and engaging throughout. Well written, an excellent read that will leave you asking for more.

I'm a big fan of Carl Hiaasen! I love his sense of humor. His books are especially good in audio format - perfect for car trips.
Our family also enjoys his kids' books. They're basically just younger versions of his adult books - humorous mysteries with an environmental twist - and they're also excellent on audio. we're currently listening to his latest, Scat.
