Skin Tight, by Carl Hiaasen

This is a typically hilarious Hiaasen romp. If you’ve never read him, start here… but save yourself some shipping (or extra trips to the bookstore) and pick up the rest of his novels too. You’re going to read them all anyway.

Skin Tight tells the story of a corrupt plastic surgeon amid a cast of lunatics. The dialog is clever, the timing impeccable, and the characters are unforgettable. The story is pure Hiaasen — not really a murder-mystery, not really a true-crime story, not really a comedy, but somehow all three: a breezy, darkly comic page-turner where the bad guys nearly always get exactly what they deserve.
