While snakes slither in the shadows, Hiaasen gleefully skewers bumbling politicians, inane socialites, dim criminals, and what passes for Palm Beach culture in a tale as bright and hot as the Florida sun.

Mrs. Bridge the character is a stultifyingly conventional upper-class American housewife in the 1930s and 40s. Mrs. Bridge the novel, told in brief, pithy episodes with humor, tenderness, wit, and poignancy, transforms that conventionality into timeless, lonely beauty. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare
