Summary

Reality TV star Buck Nance incites a riot in a bar and vanishes in the melee. His agent, Lane Coolman, has been accidentally taken hostage by two petty criminals who now think they can turn a quick profit by ransoming an LA talent agent.

The mystery of Buck’s disappearance draws in a range of characters from across the island, including a redheaded con artist named Merry who, using a razor blade and a high-speed car, has developed a signature way of luring in her victims.

The best and most entertaining Hiaasen book since his last book

Like all of Hiaasen’s books there is a tremendous sense of sadness when you get to the last couple of chapters and realise the roller coaster ride is soon going to be over.
Good story coupled with interesting plot lines and twists. Plus in this story some bitting satire on the whole ludicrous fake reality TV shows.
Good vocal performance by the narrator completes a very satisfying audio book.

Good old fashioned private detective yarn

The story is classic in form but written for the contemporary audience and full of odd twists and connections. Most enjoyable.
Great vocal performance from Jeff Harding who has a voice and accent made for this.

A leisurely time in South Florida

Carl Hiaasen’s writes with a leaning towards fun and his work is crafted is rich honour.
His stories are character driven and the various players in this drama demand a talented narrator.
The plot is sensationally interwoven with drama and thrilling set pieces as the novel unwinds. The voices have to capture the many female roles in this audio book and my only criticism being that some blur into one another. But to narrate it at all is a great achievement and the reading is poised, paced and always engaging. I would often read along listening to the book coming alive.
This is a good book and a great audio presentation that should enhance this fabulous author’s reputation and reach a wider audience.

An enjoyable way to pass the time

A pleasant tale with typical Hiaasen intricacies and enjoyable absurdities. Not his best, but nonetheless entertaining with a few of laugh out loud moments. It wasn't gripping or can't put down, it was ok.

Laugh out loud funny

Really enjoyed this one. I’d never heard of the author before so it was one I decided to try in the 2 for 1 deal based mainly on the narrator, Jeff Harding. It feels like it was written with his voice in mind. His characterisations are hilarious and definitely add a great deal to the listening experience.

Great fun!

Carl Hiaasen reminds me of a present day Raymond Chandler: smart, funny, rude, full of gorgeous women and sleazy criminals. This was a great, escapist listen and the narrator was excellent. The down-at-heel ex cop and the titular ‘Razor Girl’ were both immensely likeable, adding to my enjoyment of the story, and the name, Big Buggy’ made me happy every time I heard it!
