How Can You Not Love a Book...

...that begins like this:

At the stroke of eleven on a cool April night, a woman named Joey Perrone went overboard from a luxury deck of the cruise liner M.V. Sun Duchess. Plunging toward the dark Atlantic, Joey was too dumbfounded to panic.

"Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiaasen, page 15

  2. Me too, he has become a bit of a comfort author for me - his books are like chocolate, they never fail to cheer me up!
