Recs if you like Skinny Dip (Skink, #5; Mick Stranahan #2)...

Funny or darkly comic murder books featuring bungled plans, accidental deaths, bizarre families, amateur sleuths, incompetent criminals or people who are just having the worst day imaginable.

50 books - ones set in each state of America. I have put them in order alphabetically by state (not sure if it will change once created)

The works of Carl Hiaasen.

Early 2000s coded humorous novels. Probably vaguely (or explicitly) politically incorrect, focused more on zany one-liners and witticisms than the plot--but not always! Character heavy, typically with an ensemble cast. Fun and feisty. (This list is currently male heavy, so please recommend female authors to add!)
