A story about a Secret Service Agent, Doyle Coldiron, hopelessly in love with a White House secretary, Natelle. Doyle spends most of his time being depressed about being alone and pining after Natelle. However, Doyle has a nutty sense of humor and I found the book hilarious at times (laughing out loud to myself while reading in bed next to my snoring husband), especially when Doyle gets together with his fellow agents. There's other stuff going on in Doyle's life; a softball game to be played by flashlight against the CIA agents (thus the team name "The Avenging Blowfish"), his assignments to protect an tiny island's president, and a dangerous gunfight.
I found it a fast, humorous read, and a good break from all the big novels I've been reading lately!!

Oh, I really enjoyed this book! It was absolutely hilarious! The premise was very original and all in all, I enjoyed this romantic comedy. The whole Spam and cat food thing was particularly funny. It was a silly, fun book that definitely made me laugh out loud more than once!

If you love puns, slapstick both physical and (especially) verbal, and political/private eye spoofs, this is for you. "Night of the Avenging Blowfish" is to spy and political thrillers what "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is to science fiction. Utter nonsense, but utterly hilarious.
