ShannonHollinger | Feb 15, 2021 |  It was a better read than I anticipated, having not really enjoyed another book by the same author, but It was not a great story. There were too many unbelievable events strung together. (  ) Vividrogers | Dec 20, 2020 | Read it again on November 26, 2015. It holds up well. (  ) lynnbyrdcpa | Dec 7, 2020 | Big Trouble es la primera novela de Dave Barry. Barry, columnista de mucho tiempo de The Miami Herald, estableció los eventos de la novela en Miami y sus alrededores. PPLL2020 | Sep 8, 2020 | Writing excellent humor is a gift. This author has it and this book is great relief when you just need to laugh ... a lot. (Turned out to be a funny movie also) (  ) LJCain | Aug 7, 2020 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

In his career, Dave Barry has done just about everything - written bestselling nonfiction, won a Pulitzer Prize, seen his life turned into a television series. And now, at last, he has joined the long list of literary figures from Jane Austen to Tolstoy who have made the transition from humor columnist to novelist - and done it with a style and inventiveness that establishes that, yes, he is very good at that, too. In the city of Coconut Grove, Florida, these things happen: A struggling adman named Eliot Arnold drives home from a meeting with the Client From Hell. His teenage son, Matt, fills his Squirtmaster 9000 for his turn at a high school game called Killer. Matt's intended victim, Jenny Herk, sits down in front of the TV with her mom for what she hopes will be a peaceful evening - for once. Jenny's alcoholic and secretly embezzling stepfather, Arthur, emerges from the maid's room, angry at being rebuffed - again. Henry and Leonard, two hit men from New Jersey, pull up to the Herks' house for a real game of Killer - Arthur's embezzlement apparently not having been quite so secret to his employers after all. And a homeless man named Puggy settles down for the night in a treehouse just inside the Herks' yard. In a few minutes, a chain of events that will change the lives of each and every one of them will begin, and will leave some of them wiser, some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new line of work. With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway, Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.

This hard-boiled mystery almost feels cozy because reading it was so light-hearted and fun, but it’s not. Nor is it a book you’d want a kid reading. If you’re looking for something fun, a mystery you can read while wearing a smile instead of a grimace, this is for you. If you prefer mysteries that keep you up at night with the lights on, trying something else (Mo Hayder, perhaps). Five stars and a giggle (or two). (
