At the height of Palm Beach’s charity ball season, Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons, a prominent member of geriatric high society, suddenly vanishes during a swank gala. Kiki Pew was a founding member of the Potussies, a group of women dedicated to supporting the President, who spends half the year at the “Winter White House” just down the road. Meanwhile, Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, is called to the island to deal with a monster-sized Burmese python that has taken residency in a tree. But the President is focused on the disappearance of Kiki Pew.

Worst possible choice for narrator
Revisado: 12-28-22
I have listened to all Hiaasen books and loved all of them. I couldn’t bring myself to finish this one - even in 1.20 speed (which is mandatory for anything narrated by Scott Brick), the over-dramatization, long meaningful pauses and general feel of self importance goes against anything that makes Hiaasen the great author he is.
Please Please Please, Audible - let Mr. Brick narrate Victorian love stories or whatever else this over-the-top drama-king can narrate adequately, and let us listen to Hiaasen in a way that respects his writing and style!!

Bunny McGarry has finally got a lead in his mission to find the Sisters of the Saint, but the lead, one Father Gabriel de Marcos, isn’t willing to play ball. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Bunny has to put the padre under surveillance with a little help from some old friends. Father Gabriel runs a boxing club at the bad end of the Bronx, battling to keep kids out of gangs - noble, thankless work. Thing is, saints don’t typically have assassins sent after them. What sins are hidden in the padre’s mysterious past?

Yet another great book in the series, with perfect narration
Revisado: 05-03-20
The Dublin trilogy and the State-side books are one of my best discoveries on Audible. Funny, touching, in addition to being just great thrillers. The narration is more than perfect, and takes the books to an even higher level. A must-hear. (Just make sure you get the Dublin books first, and in the right - somewhat confusing - order)

Christiana is the daughter of the biggest arms dealer on the West Coast, Angus Byrne. She's also the sole witness and number one suspect in the murder of her boyfriend, found dead in her Newport Beach boutique. Isaiah Quintabe is coerced into taking the case to prove her innocence. If he can't, Angus will harm the brilliant PI's new girlfriend, ending her career. The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Among them, a naïve, beautiful shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band, and a wanton seductress.

A beautiful book, PERFECT narration
Revisado: 02-15-20
A beautiful story. Smart, touching, funny - everything you’d want and more. And the narration is one of the best I’ve ever heard - just perfect. Eagerly waiting for the next book.

Seth Weinstein always knew Tina was way, way, way out of his league. Which is why he’s still astonished that he’s on a plane heading for their wedding in Florida. The Groom Posse has already pulled an airport prank on him - and he’s survived! It should be easy going from now on. But Seth has absolutely no idea what he’s about to get into. A simple drink or two with the boys sparks a series of events that will pit Seth and his friends against everything and everyone imaginable.

Please, hire a professional actor next time!

Any additional comments?
If only this funny, fast paced, witty story by the great Dave Barry was narrated by a good voice actor (Dick Hill comes to mind), instead of the unfunny and monotonous narrator, Dave Barry, this would be a great listen.
Alas, Dave Barry chose to narrate the book himself, and IMHO his time would've been much better spent on writing another book.
I switched to the Kindle version at some point. Somehow, the narration is sucking all the funny out of this book.
