I just finished reading One Strange Date, another of Laurence Shames Key West comic mysteries. As I have said before, these are pleasant, laid back stories that feature a lovable, 90 year old ex-mafia guy named Burt the Shirt, who is always helping visitors and newcomers alike out of jams they get entangled with in Key West. This time, a Florida State coed, originally from Key West, drives down to Naples, Florida from Tallahassee to date a supposedly wealthy guy who she met online. As expected, things go very wrong, and she and her new acquaintance head to Key West for refuge and help, chased by both the police and mobsters. I really enjoy these books. They were once distributed by a major publishing house, some hitting the bestseller list, but are now self published by Shames. I strongly suggest you go to Amazon (now the sole distributor) and order either this or any of his other Key West books. They are all a lot of fun.
