The Riptide Ultra-Glide: A Novel (original 2013; edição 2013)

Kindle (LFPL)

Serge Storms wants to create a reality television series. Set in Florida of course – I’m not sure of the theme. Other than madness, murder and crime that is. He gets mixed up in a South Florida pill-mill war and rescues a Wisconsin couple, the McDougalls, that has been having extraordinarily bad luck since arriving for a vacation.

Serge’s constant companion, Coleman, has become a doper celebrity and now offers wisdom and autographs everywhere they go. Serge continues to murder the deserving in ingenious ways.

The plot is convoluted and entertaining and the humor is twisted – as always. ( )

Another fun ride through Florida with psychopath and serial killer Serge A. Storm and his stoner sidekick Coleman. ( )

Fast-paced, great story lines, Serge and Coleman are fantastic!! Like a Seinfeld episode with mayhem!! ( )

I had just about given up on Tim Dorsey, since his last couple of books seemed to be written by rote. Riptide Ultra-Glide has turned by opinion around with Dorsey seeming to be back on track. This is a tightly written book with lots of comical moments (of course) and an ending that I didn't see coming. I came into this book with an attitude of "oh well, I might as well read it" and came out with an attitude of "when is the next Serge adventure going to be published". ( )
