Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen. Copyright 1987. Hiaasen is not in the same class as Elmore Leonard, at least in this early book, but he comes close. In this mystery/social commentary he conjures up a slew of odd Southern characters and a string of murders set against the backdrop of professional bass fishing and evangelical television. From many seemingly tangled plot lines all ends well and clearly, and characters we have come to care about emerge triumphant. Grade: B
