Bad Monkey, Makes Good Summer Reading

I'm not a fan of the mystery genre.  Ironically, I am a huge fan of Masterpiece Mystery:  Inspector Lewis.  Coincidentally, Lewis has finally developed a personal relationship with the female coroner after a long partnership solving murders.  In Carl Hiaasen's humorous who-done it, debunked Det. Andrew Young has just been releaved of his badge for dubious reasons.  But he is quick to hook-up with the beautiful coroner, who becomes his lover & partner in crime solving.  Young is working in an un-official capacity, seeking redemption & his job back.  Women fall for his charms, guys want to be him and you will root for this character.  Young is an irrepressible rogue whose antics are not exactly kosher.  He's been demoted as a health inspector, a job he does with ingenuity & integrity.  Young can't be bought or deterred.  Mixed in the stew is a colorful cast of characters including a voo-doo queen, a sexual pervert ex-girlfriend & one bad ass monkey.  Hooray for love matches between detectives & coroners.  Bad Monkey is a masterpiece of lighthearted pleasure.
