About this listen
When a severed arm is discovered by a honeymooning couple in the Florida Keys, former police detective - now reluctant restaurant inspector - Andrew Yancy senses that something doesn't add up.
Andrew's search for the truth takes him to the Bahamas, where a local man, with the help of a very bad monkey is doing everything in his power to prevent a developer from building a new tourist resort on the island, with deadly consequences....

Critic reviews
"‘Hiaasen amplifies the grotesque aspects of everyday criminality in order to cut to the heart of human nature" ( Irish Times)
Have tried several times to get into the story but had to give up after only three chapters. I have enjoyed other Carl Hiassen books but as has been said before the narrator does the author no service. He reads it rather than narrates it. His voice is flat and I imagine a schoolboy demonstrating his annunciation in an oral exam. This is not his genre. This is one of those occasions when you’d do better to read the book for yourself. Sorry
Will read the book

If you could sum up Bad Monkey in three words, what would they be?
Bring Back SkinkWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Bad Monkey?
Hurricane Love SceneWhat three words best describe Lance Fuller’s voice?
Not Very GoodDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Lance Fullers narration almost put me off - but it takes a heck of a lot before I give up on a book and eventually I got used to it and was laughing inappropriately as I usually do with a Carl Hiaasen book.Narrator Not Great

Would you consider the audio edition of Bad Monkey to be better than the print version?
Yes, the audio edition performed by Lance almost put you in the Bahamas amongst the crazy antics of crime and property development.What was one of the most memorable moments of Bad Monkey?
The most memorable moment was a very painful scene where said bad monkey bit deep into a certain part of a character's anatomy with side splitting consequences.Which scene did you most enjoy?
The storm descends on to the Bahamian island while the main villain struggles in his ever more debilitated state to remain in control of his destiny.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did not want to listen to this rich text in one sitting as like a fine wine you take well savoured sips to fully appreciate it like the hilarious but yet complex story.Any additional comments?
Once more Hiaason takes comedy and crime to new heights but be prepared this is a deluxe piece as Lance reads so well.Hilarious Simian based romp
