When Elves Attack by Tim Dorsey, 129 pages
It's Christmas time in Florida and Serge and Coleman are determined to help end the supposed war on Christmas. On the run again the pair don elf suits and move back onto to Trigger Fish Ln. where they also meet up with their longtime acquaintance Jim Davenport. Jim, whom Serge idolizes, then has to put up with super sized Christmas trees, extreme caroling, and a Christmas light display torture device. All the while trying to keep his wife and visiting mother happy, or at the least not being openly aggressive to each other.
This a wonderful holiday story complete with all of the characters we have grown to love in the series so far. Dorsey also even remembered to include the Davenport's youngest daughter in all of her rebellious but family loving glory. While shorter than the other books in this series Dorsey still manages to tell a great story with all of the usual strangeness we've come to expect.
