What makes it funny?
Congressman Dilbeck tries to play the gallant by hitting a club patron with a wine bottle. Elsewhere, a club's answer to competition is to have patrons wrestle dancers in creamed corn. Erin wants no part of that promotion.
The comedy at work
Hiaasen puts politicians and wealthy business interests into a farce about appetites they can barely control. The people claiming authority give Erin plenty of reasons to distrust it.
Try this if…
Political crime comedy for readers who like elaborate blackmail schemes and farce with a sharp opinion about who holds power.
Good to know
The strip-club setting involves sexual material and harassment. Murder, violence and a custody conflict are central to the story.
