Another police procedural, humorous novel from Carl Hiaasen. In this story, a severed arm is found by tourists during a deep sea fishing expedition. Detective Andrew Yancy takes on the case trying to locate the body the arm belongs to and determine the cause of death (ie accident or murder). It is Yancy's hope that solving this case will relieve him of his Health Inspector duties and get him back on the Miami Police force. As always, Carl Hiaasen fill this book with a strange cast of quirky characters and ever increasing strange, but humorous situations. I read plenty of things in the book that made me laugh or at least crack a smile. However, the descriptions of the dirty restaurants that Yancy investigates during his stint as a health inspector, made me loose my appetite more than once. If you like Hiaasen's other books, then you will know what to expect in this one.
