Tropical Swap (Key West, #10) di Laurence Shames

I don't think this author has written a bad book. This was the light funny read I needed. Husband and wife swap their Manhattan apartment for a house in Key West and from the moment they arrive in the tropics nothing works the way they thought it would. Crazy Floridians, shady Key Westers, the mafia, the FBI, and the one constant of this author's series Bert The Shirt. Really a very fun book.
