kittiwakeTuck stared out at the ocean for a moment, wondering whether it was time to give this gift horse a dental exam. There was just too damn much money showing on this island.
When pilot Tucker Case foolishly goes for a drunken flight with a hooker who wants to join the mile high club, and crashes his boss's plane, he loses his pilot's licence and is lucky to escape with his life. Out of the blue, he is offered a lucrative job flying a Lear jet for a mission doctor on an out of the way island in Micronesia, but it isn't long before he starts thinking that there must be a catch.
It is a comedy with disturbing undertones which gradually becomes more and more sinister. It; is the first of this author's books that I have read, and I was surprised that it featured such sinister goings on. Back in the 80s, I read several of the M*A*S*H books, and the tone of this extremely funny novel really reminded me of them.
"Island of the Sequined Love Nun" is a very enjoyable book, and gets bonus points from me for including a map of the island.
