Book 9, Scat

I have read a lot of books this summer, and I think this is my favorite so far. The book was called Scat. Scat might be what you say if you want a cat or something else to go away, scat is also animal poop. The word is used both ways in this book. Carl Hiaasen is the author. He created a funny, but serious mystery that takes place in Black Vine Swamp in Florida. A number of crimes take place that are all related. Arson, missing person, illegal oil drilling, breaking and entering, and evading arrest. The first sentence hooks the reader with the biology teacher going missing. The book is absolutely filled with interesting characters, both animal and human. It has a classic good verses evil plot that is set in modern times. I would recommend this book and author to others. It is a very satisfying read.
