Sick Puppy by Carl Hiaasen

Description from Goodreads: Independently wealthy eco-terrorist Twilly Spree teaches a flagrant litterbug a lesson--and leaves the offender's precious Range Rover swarming with hungry dung beetles. When he discovers the litterer is one of the most powerful political fixers in Florida, the real Hiaasen-style fun begins.

I'm really growing to like Carl Hiaasen. His books are mysterious and wonderful, yet also likely to have you laughing out loud. This one was no different. The main character, Twilly Spree, is loveable and yet crazy. The line between good guys and bad is blurry, at best. For all these reasons, this book mirrors life in a great way even when they're talking crazy murders. The book also takes an interesting dive into politics which I enjoyed, making you think about political fixers and lobbyists in a way that makes you cringe. I recommend this one. 

Note for Parents/Teachers: This book is written for adults and does contain some scenes where people are having sex. They're not explicit or erotic, but they are pretty clear about what is happening.
