Pest Control by Bill Fitzhugh
Entertaining, but not his best work.
Fitzhugh specializes in filling his books with absurd characters in absurd situations. This is my third Fitzhugh book and I have to rank it in second. It is funny, but at times his characterization of New Yorkers as oblivious and callous to the violence that can be inherent in that city is even a bit much for me.

The overall premise is funny but the book somehow fails to hit the high level of promise that this reader anticipated. That said, this would be a heck of a good movie if you get the right actors involved.
I rate this book 4 stars out of 5.
This book can be found on Amazon.com here: Pest Control.
