There are two things that set Cadillac Beach above the other eight other entries that I've read (and loved, or at least liked a lot). There are the letters Serge writes -- to the Wall Street Journal, The Today Show, the Mayor of Miami Beach, even the President of the US (of course!). These novels are always full of Serge's rants, always a treat, but they're usually directed at sidekicks or victims -- these letters are so much fun because of who they're directed to.
The other thing is the throwback to Serge's grandfather Sergio, a petty criminal back in the early 1960s who was every bit as insane as Serge, and even had young Serge in tow. Serge starts a tour company as a front for his investigation into the supposed suicide death of Sergio and the missing jewels from a concurrent heist. So basically, Serge squared, how fun. And, given the time period, opportunity for Serge to rant about Cassius Clay, the Beatles, JFK, Castro, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason -- all the icons of the era.
But, there are also a couple of things that are on the disappointing side of the ledger. Primarily, there is really no righteous cause that Serge is pursuing, only his personal quest, and consequently few of his elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque murders (I can only recall one). Coupled with a gratuitous plot to invade Cuba that parallels the Bay of Pigs and really only serves as an excuse to bring in the FBI and CIA, there is really very little story line -- not that plot is central to Dorsey's humorous novels, but a credible pretext for Serge's rants and revenges heightens the experience.
Nevertheless, good stuff! Newbies can start here or anywhere, as there is little carryover from one novel to the next -- in fact, this far into the series, this is where we learn about Serge's childhood and how he (at a later date) escaped from an institution. And if there is a question about reading vs. listening, nothing beats the audio experience than a comic novel read by a good narrator, and George Wilson is the professor emeritus of comic Florida crime fiction. between Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen.

Like chaos in a blender, Serge, Lenny, and a party of willing and unwilling characters tear through Southern Florida in "Cadillac Beach." Who knew murder, mayhem, and mystery could be so fun?
Please, please, pleaes, Audible guys, can we get more of Dorsey's books?
Fun and Practical . . . Really

The story hops through time between Serge and his grandfather Sergio. It covers a lot of Florida history and is not afraid to talk about the mistakes and corruption as well as the triumphs and native beauty of the state.
If you don't mind constant references to drug and alcohol use, some bad language, sex, and vivid (if rather unhinged) social commentary, you'll get a kick out of this book. If any of those things bother you I'd recommend staying away because you'll be offended.
You Gotta Love Serge!
