"Robert Clinch loved his boat more that anything else in the world...more than his wife...his kids...his girlfiend...even more than the largemouth bass he was pursuing." Thus begins a twisted tale of murder in the world of big-stakes bass fishing tournaments. Filled with ex-wives, evangelists, and an armed pit-bull, this is a story that could only be concocted by Carl Hiaasen, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, New York Times best-selling author, and czar of Florida noir fiction.©1988 Carl Hiaasen (P)1998 Recorded Books, LLC Crime Fiction Dark humor Fiction Literature & Fiction Mystery Private Investigators Satire Suspense Thriller & Suspense Comedy Crime Detective Funny Witty Florida

Critic reviews

"The cast of bizarre characters and the suspenseful events confirm Hiaasen's reputation for creating singular villains and heroes. While he's probably unpopular among some fellow citizens in his home state, he will certainly please readers who appreciate the Swiftian wit in his cautionary tales." (Publishers Weekly)
"The action is swift, and there are some very funny scenes." (Library Journal)

Carl Hassen does not write great novels; he writes excellent funny thrillers. George Wilson is the perfect narrator to act out a Hassen novel.

Double Whammy is about the huge business of big mouth bass fishing tournaments. There is a lot of creative cheating going on, but the cheaters do not always win. It is a good break from the serious thrillers I usually read.

Fun farcical fishing fiction!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of George Wilson?

When you can hear the narrator swallowing and taking a breathe then someone isn't doing their job. The smacking of the narrator lips and swallowing was so distracting i almost stopped listening. George Wilson did a good job otherwise.

narrator or was it the editing

The story and characters are entertaining. The narrator was good.
My only issue is the end of the book. It's abrupt in my opinion.

Love the characters and the story line, just as I do with all of Carl's books. George Wilson is the only narrator for these stories. He brings "Skink" to life every time.

Never disappointed by a Carl Hiaasen book

Ok, it’s not Huck Finn. But Hiaasen translates perfectly into audio. Just plain fun. Not sure how I would rate this against his other books. Spent too much time laughing.

Perfect audio

This is my first Hiaasen, and I really liked it. My kids tell me this one follows a pretty standard "pattern" for a lot of his books, so I'll be reading more - I like the "pattern"!

SKINK

Overall story was good and made me chuckle a few times. However the reader audibly swallowed often which was distracting and annoying. He needs to learn to move the microphone away when he does this. Only reader I've ever heard that does this.

Good story, reader had annoying habit

Pro ecology and definitely anti-development. Skink is a character over the top and the characters he comes in contact with are well developed. Have listened to almost all of the series. Enjoy!!

Love Skink
