The Doc Ford books are an excellent series by Randy Wayne White. Based in the Florida Keys and entertaining from beginning to end.

First Doc Ford mystery.

I am madly in love with deep south authors. Probably because I live here myself. This is a new author for me and one I will definitely start reading on a regular basis...plenty of suspense and information on his area and expertise.

Great story lots of atmosphere.

First in the Doc Ford series. I have read only one of the recent books before this, and it's nice to get some background on the characters and see them start to develop.

First time I've read Randy Wayne White and I have to read them all!

Randy Wayne White is John D.MacDonald born again.

first book of his series with Doc Ford very very good

Another Doc Ford installment. Great series! Be sure to read in order though...it makes a difference!

Great reading!

First book in the Doc Ford series. Good characters. Nicely written, but obvious plot twist.

I love this entire series about Doc Ford and the unusual characters at Dinkins Bay in Sanibel. The stories are fast paced and well-crafted. Doc Ford and his friends are people you can care about, and they develop further as the series progresses. The books also paint an accurate picture of the lovely island of Sanibel, which is well worth a visit. Randy Wayne White is part owner of a restaurant on the island called "Doc Ford's", great place to eat.

Set on Sanibel, this mystery is the first of a series of books about Doc Ford. this over the top mystery is fun and easy to read.the violence is graphic but kept to a minimum.
doc is called by an old friend for help getting back his kidnapped son in central america,now the "fun" begins.

Okay. The plot of this book, after reading the first chapter, seems very intriguing. I would have loved to finish it, because it seemed to be one of those books that would be a page turner. But, alas, I threw it down after one chapter as I just do not like to read novels laced with profanity. A little bit here and there, ok, but not multiple times on one page. As I am an avid reader of cozy mysteries this book does not fit in that category. I was on vacation in Florida a couple years ago and we went to Sanibel Island,(if you have never been there, I can tell you it is beautiful!), so the title of the book intrigued me. I know there are many, many people who enjoy Randy Wayne White's work, but this is just a personal opinion about book's contents I hold and certainly do not intend to offend anyone because of my personal interests.

Doc Ford is sometimes compared to Travis McGee but nobody has ever compared Tomlinson to Meyer. And I enjoyed the history of Central America, which was based on fact, if not precisely each detail.

Did not finish it
