Torpedo Juice by Tim Dorsey, 322 pages
Serge Storm is back and looking to settle down into married life, he's searching the Florida Keys for Mrs. Right in the only way he knows how with binoculars and his homemade dating kit. He eventually settles down with an unlikely mousy librarian whom he sees as his perfect match. However even marriage doesn't seem to be able to slow Serge down as he handles a cult of devoted followers, ruthless land developers, old friends, and a new serial killer who is leaving a trail of bodies leading up to Florida.
This novel while entertaining wasn't as good as some of Dorsey's previous books in the series. I was disappointed with the way the two plots worked together and it doesn't add up as smoothly as other books. That being said the characters and craziness of the plot was on par with the rest of the series and make it worth reading.
