SKIN TIGHT

Hiaasen turns his demented wit to the world of plastic surgery and tabloid television in Skin Tight but, as with his other thrillers, he includes a rich mixture of murder and the macabre. Reading a Hiaasen book is always a high-speed boat ride where laughter can turn to horror and disaster at any moment. Hearing the story aloud adds a dose of realism and sensation; these characters really could be driving around the streets of Miami. Wilson's narration is perfectly timed, laid-back and salty. He uses high-pitched vocalizations and slight tonal changes to indicate the various characters. Highly recommended for all popular fiction collections.
