REVIEWED BY PAM LAMBERT
MYSTERY
Zapped during dinner by a telemarketer peddling Florida "ranchettes," Honey Santana—who lives in the Everglades with her scarily precocious son Fry—doesn't just go postal, she devises a get-even scheme of demented brilliance. In short order, Honey ensnares herself, the pitchman, his mistress and the gumshoe hired by his wife—not to mention her own ex and a half-Seminole named Sammy Tigertail—in the kind of Floridian follies on which Hiassen owns the franchise. As the antics escalate some action careens towards the cartoonish, but the writing is never less than amusing, and the endearing Fry rates a return appearance.
