Review on 📚 Razor Girl: A Novel - An Unforgettable Literary Journey by Amber Fox

It's March in Maine and we're expecting eighteen inches of snow during the coming storm. As a defense against a bad case of grunts, it was time for another trip to Florida by Mr. Hayasen. A lifelong resident and reporter for the Sunshine State, he has shared many sweet adventures and poignant social comments about the state he loves so much. Razor Girl, the sequel to his previous novel Bad Monkey, is packed with quirky characters and fun material on almost every page. Andrew Yancey is back with all his rough edges as a health inspector and he's still struggling with himself. You're not reading a fictional work by Carl Hiaasen and expecting the material to win a Pulitzer Prize. The author has a penchant for the absurd, and much of the material is colorless. Profanity is scattered throughout the book. Razor Girl has many morally dysfunctional people and multiple storylines. Yancy seems to have found his match when his paths eventually cross with Merry Mansfield, who has a unique way of doing business. The story poke fun at things like reality TV, talent agents, the mafia, Florida businessmen, elected officials, exotic animals like Gambian opossums and mongooses, reality TV fans, tourism and environmental degradation. There are some statistically improbable chance encounters between different people. Anyway, absurdity is the main thing in Hayasen's story. I had no idea where the story was going. It had a lot of twists and turns. Razor Girl was a great mood lift after a silly book I read prior to Mr Hyaasen's work. I wouldn't mind if Andrew Yancey and another well-known hero of the author, Skink, team up in one of the future stories. Razor Girl is very interesting.
