I’ve never heard of this guy, but the description sounds right up my ally. I feel like I have a hard time finding humorous fiction. It either ends up being humorous non-fiction or the author is under the misconception that a protagonist being inconvenienced by an in-law counts as humor.
Is this guy’s series any good, and do you guys have any other authors I might want to look into with a preferred emphasis on humor and mystery.
He was great. The Serge A. Storm series is pretty twisted in the funniest ways possible without feeling overly dark. Although full disclosure, I’ve only read the first 9 novels in the series but back around 2007 that was all of them.
To be honest I hadn’t thought about Tim Dorsey in years and had no idea he continued adding to the series as recently as this past February but there’s apparently 26 books total now! So I can only recommend the first nine but wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all great.
If you give it a shot I’d suggest looking up the chronological order on Wikipedia because the first five novels jump around in the timeline and it can be a little confusing.
Check out Carl Hiaasen as well. Skin Tight was written in the 80s but it still holds up and it was hilariously twisted.
