About this listen

Serge A. Storms embarks on a tour to meet his long-lost relatives in this latest madcap entry in the best-selling series from “Florida’s compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny” (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey.

Devoted Floridaphile Serge Storms is a lover of history, so he’s decided to investigate his own using one of those DNA services from late-night TV. Excited to construct a family tree, he and Coleman hit the road to meet his kin. Along the way, he plans to introduce Coleman to the Sunshine State’s beautiful parks where he can brush up on his flora, fauna, and wildlife and more important, collect the missing stamps for his park passport book.

But as the old saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far....

Serge is thrilled to discover he may be related to a notorious serial killer who’s terrorized the state for 20 years and never been caught. Which one of his newfound relatives will be the one to help him hunt down this deranged maniac? Serge doesn’t know that a dogged investigator from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is also hot on the trail.

Then Serge meets a park ranger who’s also longing to make a family reconnection. But all is not as it appears on the surface, and Serge’s newfound friendship in the mysterious swamps of Florida may lead to deadly results.

Finding his own relatives has made Serge understand the importance of family. Of course he’ll do anything to help....

After hammerhead shark motel of course, I really enjoyed this edition to the Serge Saga. Had to re-listen with my boyfriend on a long road trip and we loved it, especially the ending. As always I can't help but say, don't hesitate and listen now!

I really love these books

Mr. Dorsey never fails to spin a great tale, but this one was one of his best yet!

Serge is in top form with his creative kill schemes. Coleman is his usual ridiculous drug addled mess. Bobby and Heather Sparrow added a heartwarming and intriguing addition to the over all story arch.

I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.

If you love Serge, you won't be disappointed.

If you are new to the franchise, and just want a fun read, this is a good stand alone story, don't be afraid to take a chance.

(Wyman always gives a great reading.)

One of the best yet!

Dorsey’s story telling keeps getting better and Wyman’s performance is awesome as always. Really appreciate the additional nuance in secondary characters in this and the past few books.

Better than ever!

Always a Tim Dorsey/Serge fan! Another great story. This was my first Serge audio book. As such, I was a little disappointed as I had always pictured Serge with a deeper voice than this audio provided. Nonetheless, another great story.

I’ve been waiting for this book since last year. Surge and Coleman adventures are the best! Even got my son in law hooked on these books. Now I gotta wait for the next one. I wonder if Emilia would’ve liked then too...

Thanks Tim!
