Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen is a darkly comedic mystery novel that weaves together crime, satire, and environmental commentary. Set in South Florida, the story follows a series of bizarre murders targeting tourists during the high season. The victims are discovered in strange circumstances, leading authorities and reporters to suspect a serial killer.

Enter Brian Keyes, a former journalist turned private investigator, who is hired to uncover the truth. His investigation unveils an offbeat, yet dangerous conspiracy led by Skip Wiley, an eco-terrorist and former columnist with a radical mission to protect Florida’s fragile environment by driving away tourists—permanently. Wiley’s motley crew includes a Cuban ex-wrestler, a Seminole Indian, and a failed college professor, each with their own quirks and deadly skills.

With Hiaasen’s signature wit and incisive commentary on Florida’s rampant development and environmental degradation, Tourist Season delivers a fast-paced, entertaining tale. The novel’s blend of humor, absurdity, and suspense makes it a standout in Hiaasen’s oeuvre and a must-read for fans of satirical crime fiction.
