Atomic Lobster by Tim Dorsey, 340 pages
Serge is back once again, this time with plans to start the largest collection of dirt from famous places in Florida. By his side are none other than his loyal but not at all sober companion Coleman and the mysterious yet somehow familiar Rachael. To complicate matters the most dangerous of the criminal Mcgraw family has finally been released from prison leading Serge to track down and protect his old friend Jim Davenport. Add into this mix a possible smuggling plot against national security, cruise lines trying to evict elderly retirees who've taken up residence, the meeting between Coleman and Serge's previous traveling companion Lenny, and the upcoming wedding of Jim's eldest child
One of the best things about this novel is that it is essentially a reunion tour all sorts of previous characters its fun seeing how these characters have changed or not changed in some cases. Plus there were plenty of interesting murder methods. One thing that did bother me was that this book mentions the oldest two Davenport children but completely ignores the youngest kid, and it almost feels like Dorsey forgot she existed for this book.
