This is a different Kane book.

I was hesitant to get Alexander C. Kane's, Scum of the Earth, it sounded like it would mostly take place in a MAGA senator's office.

This is not the case. This is one long car chase of a page-turner that I finished listening to in one day.

This is a different Kane book. Gone are the cartoon characters of the Andrea Vernon series. Replaced with fleshed out characters, even for the bad guys. It is written for an adult audience and doesn't rely on snark for its humor like the Orlando People series.

I enjoyed Kanes series, they are fun, funny, snarky and silly.

Scum of the Earth is different; it's subtle self-deprecating satire.
