I listened to this book in audio and the narrator was perfect for this story. For context, we have had a lot of things going on at our house and the house is in complete disarray. I decide to pop Bad Monkey in my earbuds and listen away while I am taking care of business. On numerous occasions, way more than I could keep track of, I found myself smiling, literally laughing out loud, and shaking my head at whatever shenanigan or situation Yancy just got himself caught up in again. My husband thought I was insane (shhhh, I am a little on the crazy side, LOL)! I could not get enough of this story! I was absolutely hooked when I found out why Yancy was kicked off the force. His actions were not right but it was sooooo right. You need to read this so you understand. It makes complete sense! All of the characters are well developed and have so many different quirks. Even Yancy, as unconventional as he is, his loyalty runs deep and his love of the Key Deer is amazing! There is a lot of dark humor but it is a comedic delight! There is no shortage of witty banter but a true mystery, nonetheless. OH, and let us not forget about the ARM! The dang arm! Oh, you must read this to find out what happens to the arm! You won\u2019t be disappointed, I promise!<\/p>\n One note. I have not watched the TV series, but I did watch the trailer. In the trailer it appears that Yancy hits the guy in a golf cart and sends him into the water. This is NOT why he is kicked off the force in the book. I would suggest a read to find out why, it is much dirtier\u2026..go on. You know you are intrigued now, LOL!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carl Hiaasen was born and raised in Florida, where he still lives. He is a prize-winning journalist with a regular column in the Miami Herald and many articles in varied magazines. He started writing crime fiction in the early 1980s and has recently branched out into children’s books; he has also had several works of non-fiction published.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now an Apple Original series from\u00a0Ted Lasso\u00a0Executive Producer Bill Lawrence and starring\u00a0Vince Vaughn\u00a0\u2022\u00a0A wickedly funny novel from the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Squeeze Me\u00a0in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what\u2019s left of pristine Florida\u2014now, of the Bahamas as well\u2014get their comeuppance. \u201c[A] comedic marvel \u2026 [Hiaasen] hasn\u2019t written a novel this funny … Continue reading #Review #AudioBook – Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen<\/span> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/synopsis-1.jpg\")

\nAndrew Yancy\u2014late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff\u2019s office\u2014has a human arm in his freezer. There\u2019s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident\/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it\u2019s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first\u2014this being Hiaasen country\u2014Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy\u2019s new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen\u2019s greatest characters.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
