About this product

Product Information

A lovable con woman and a disgraced detective team up to find a redneck reality TV star in this raucous and razor-sharp new novel from Carl Hiaasen, the bestselling author of Bad Monkey . Merry Mansfield, the eponymous Razor Girl, specializes in kidnapping for the mob. Her preferred method is rear-ending her targets and asking them for a ride. Her latest mark is Martin Trebeaux, owner of a private beach renourishment company who has delivered substandard sand to a mob hotel. But there's just one problem: Razor Girl hits the wrong guy. Instead, she ends up with Lane Coolman, talent manager for Buck Nance, the star of a reality TV show about a family of Cajun rooster farmers. Buck Nance, left to perform standup at a Key West bar without his handler, makes enough off-color jokes to incite a brawl, then flees for his life and vanishes. Now a routine promotional appearance has become a missing persons case. And Andrew Yancy, disgraced detective-turned-health inspector, is on the job. That the Razor Girl may be the key to Yancy's future will be as surprising to him as anything else he encounters along the way--including the giant Gambian pouched rats that are haunting his restaurant inspections.

Reviews
"Carl Hiaasen's irresistible  Razor Girl  meets his usual sky-high standards for elegance, craziness and mike-drop humor." -- The New York Times "Vintage Hiaasen, in the very best way: darkly funny, unapologetically crazy, and more Florida than a flamingo eating a Cuban sandwich while singing a Jimmy Buffett song." --NPR Books "Raucous . . . It's a classic Hiaasen setup, and  Razor Girl  delivers on it with seasoned, professional ease." -- The Washington Post "One of the wildest, funniest Hiaasen novels yet." -- The Daily News "In Florida it's usually too hot to move very fast, but Carl Hiaasen, a native son of the Sunshine State, likes to hit the ground running. . . . The secret is Hiaasen's premium, high-grade comic prose, which keeps everything at the right temperature. In Florida, you have to know how to stay cool." -- The New York Times Book Review, "Carl Hiaasen's irresistible Razor Girl meets his usual sky-high standards for elegance, craziness and mike-drop humor. But this election-year novel is exceptionally timely, too. . . . [A] wonderfully overstocked book." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times   "Raucous . . . It's a classic Hiaasen setup, and Razor Girl delivers on it with seasoned, professional ease. The dialogue somehow sounds believable even at its most deadpan hilarious, and the multi-pronged satire--of Florida, corrupt cops, bumbling criminals, and, most exquisitely, the entertainment industry--is gentle but merciless." --Steve Donoghue, The Washington Post   "One of the wildest, funniest Hiaasen novels yet." --Sherryl Connelly, The Daily News   "Hiaasen's propulsive plot moves this motley collection of weirdos swiftly through a Rube Goldberg string of mistakes and counter-mistakes. Hiaasen rules this satirized and exaggerated version of Florida as an agenda-driven and vengeful deity, reveling in the self-induced pitfalls that take down the worst offenders. His particular version of Murphy's Law operates with a sly grin and a razor-sharp sense of humor." --Eric Swedlund, Paste magazine "Rejoice, fans of American madness who've sought fulfillment in political reportage. South Florida's master farceur is back to reassure you that fiction is indeed stranger than truth. . . . [Hiaasen's] plotting is so fine-tuned that preposterous complications that would strain lesser novelists fit right into his antic world. Relax, enjoy, and marvel anew at the power of unbridled fictional invention." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[An] immensely entertaining wild ride . . . Merry Mansfield, the Razor Girl, is sharp, that's for sure, and one of the coolest characters Hiaasen has ever brought to the page. . . .  This is the ultimate beach read for anyone with a taste for Hiaasen's skewed view of a Florida slouching toward Armageddon." --Jane Murphy, Booklist (starred review) "Breezy, enjoyable . . . fast-paced . . . readers will be hoping that Yancy and the other quirky denizens of Hiaasen's Florida will soon be back for another screwball adventure." -- Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Must read Carl Hiaasen !!!

    I have been reading Carl Hiaasen's books since I lived in Ohio over seventeen years ago. Now living in Florida, his books are a must read !!!! Every book has an eccentric cast of characters. Sometimes the same characters appear in the next book. I hope he keeps writing for us for many more years. Always a fun read.

  • Hiaasen never fails to hit the funny bone.

    Another great read by Carl Hiaasen. As absurd as it seems to be shaving a delicate area while driving, it is based on an actual news story of a traffic accident in Florida! When Merry Mansfield rear-ends a motorist on his way to Key West, mayhem and laughter ensues.
