Mermaid Confidential

A Novel (Serge Storms, Book 25)

By: Tim Dorsey

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

Serge A. Storms gives condo living a try in this latest acid-splashed Florida crime caper from the “insanely funny” (New York Times Book Review) Tim Dorsey.

Serge A. Storms and his permanently baked sidekick, Coleman, have decided to pump the brakes and live on island time. After years of manic road tripping across their beloved Sunshine State, the irrepressible anti-heroes drop anchor in the Florida Keys. They settle down in Pelican Bay, a thriving condo complex with scenic views and friendly neighbors. But the community is at war with investors who are buying up units and leasing them to young vacationers who party at all hours. With their little slice of heaven on the line, Serge takes it upon himself to convince the tourists to move on and quickly becomes a local favorite.

Meanwhile, the island chain’s long and rich smuggling heritage is causing mayhem—a gang war erupts when a local drug lord passes the family business to his young, enterprising son, and the sun-loving residents are suddenly dodging bullets.

Luckily, Florida’s most lovable serial killer is there to help!

Once again laugh outloud antics

Serge and Coleman are on a hiatus. Slowing down and enjoying life in Florida (as only they can do). And, I loved how the title came about!

outstanding and hilarious

This edition is the most fun Dorsey has been in a while. Just outstanding.

America's Physcpatic Hero Shines Again

Always a great listen. Serge and Coleman aging like fine wine. See you soon!

Another Tim Dorsey Hit

Once againTim Dorsey puts together a Florida tale worthy of the Serge and Coleman characters. Oliver Wyman is the man that brings these characters to life. No other narrator could do justice to the world that Mr. Dorsey creates

Need more

Reading series from start to finish and only 1 left! Guess I'll have to start over. Every book is better than the last! This would make a "killer" #Netflix or #Prime series - just be sure to keep the narrator.

If only Serge really existed....

My husband and I listen to the Serge A Storms books together. These are by far the BEST books we have EVER read pertaining to Florida. As Florida people ourselves, we really appreciate all the places mentioned in the books and are trying to hit all the"Serge" spots Every time we go to a specific part of Florida for vacation or otherwise. ai really hope none of the two characters are killed off (exception for Coleman, too late for him), as these two should be like Batman, the undying heroes that form a legacy. i really hope Serge fathered a child we do t know about so that when he passes on, the offspring can continue. Also, this narrator makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. The prior choice was great, but not for this series, my opinion only, of course .

Surge comes through again

Another great story by Tom Dorsey. I love the Florida trivia mixed with Surge’s ingenious bonus rounds.
Surge has a soft spot for us senior citizens. I’m waiting for him to discover the Florida model railroad show circuit.

Serge Style

Love Dorsey's characters and world. my family and I have done several Serge mini-tours. looking forward to our next off season trip to the keys....mid week of course.

It does finally tie together

I enjoyed this installment of the long running series. But I found that the storyline was a bite more fragmented and did not think the storylines would ever converge. But as only Serge and Coleman would encounter events they converge spectacularly .

Hilarious chaos with peacocks

This story is brilliantly narrated, and laugh out loud funny. Serge and Coleman interact with the locals and end up saving the day again.
