Book Overview
"Dorsey differs from writers such as Carl Hiassen, James Hall, and Elmore Leonard...These guys fire bullets. Dorsey makes sure his gun is filled with hollow-point." --Sarasota Herald Tribune Readers who can't get enough of lovable serial killer Serge A. Storms can rejoice. He's back in Electric Barracuda--the latest outrageous romp through the Sunshine State by Tim Dorsey, master of the zany crime thriller. This time Serge is a fugitive running from the police, and murder and mayhem have never been more over-the-top hilarious. Tim Dorsey's Electric Barracuda is not to be missed. The Miami Herald put it best: "Nobody, but nobody, writes like this guy."

Coleman, quit acting so stupid...I forgot Serge!
Published by MONEYSAVER EDITING , 2 years ago
Serge is up to his old tricks, along with his often stewed friend Coleman, in TIM DORSEY's ELECTRIC BARRACUDA, traveling from one end of Florida to the very southern tip of the Everglades. Dorsey introduces some new oddballs while Serge administers his own wacky form of justice, something no one ever walks away from, at least not the three guys that slighted Serge enough to find out what he really thought about them.
Mahoney, his old nemesis, along with White and Lowe, are hot on his trail following him from one hidey hole to the next, usually within spitting distance, but too inept to realize how close they really are to nabbing him.
I really enjoyed the off-color historical references, especially the Al Capone piece that takes place at the very edge of the Glades. Mahoney's 40's slang was a bit confusing but Lowe seemed to have a handle on most of it.
And then there's the ending, a real gut twister, but I won't spoil it for you. If you haven't read a Dorsey Florida romp, pick up a copy of one of his twenty-five titles, happy to say I have read most of them.
