Commentary Conducive To Books Everglades (Doc Ford Mystery #10)

Doc Ford returns to his stilt house on Dinkin's Bay to find an old friend and one-time lover waiting for him. Her real-estate developer husband has disappeared and been pronounced dead, and she's sure there's worse to follow-and she's right. Following the trail, Ford ends up deep in the Everglades, at the gates of a community presided over by a man named Bhagwan Shiva (formerly Jerry Singh). Shiva is big business, but that business has been a little shaky lately, and so he's come up with a scheme to enhance both his cash and his power. Of course, there's the possibility that some people could get hurt and the Everglades itself damaged, but Shiva smells a killing. And if that should turn out to be literally, as well as figuratively, true...well, that's just too damned bad.

Replete with passion and rich, pungent prose and some of the best suspense characters anywhere in fiction, Everglades is the finest work yet from an extraordinary talent.

Notice Containing Books Everglades (Doc Ford Mystery #10)

I thought the story was very interesting, but boy, this one really gives you a history lesson! Sometimes good, but way too wordy! A lot of research must have gone into this LOL!

This author never disappoints. His love of Florida makes me wish I had such a fondness for where I grew up -- Northwestern Montana. :)

Been making my way through the Doc Ford collection. This was my 10th. They are all easy and fun reading. I felt liked that Ford had a touch more humanity in this one. A few more layers. An added bonus was learning new facts about native Americans in Florida.

I feel like the doc ford books are making a comeback! I easily followed and enjoyed the story and who wouldn't love some Tomlinson quotes from his paper "one fathom above sea level". It's probably made better because I'm sitting on sanibel beach as I type the review. "Hope could not exist if man were created by a random, chemical accident. Pleasure yes. Desire, yes. But not hope. Selfless hope is contrary to the dynamics of evolution or the necessities of a species" _-Tomlinson "One Fathom Above

Number 10 in the Doc Ford series. More of what I've come to expect: Mystery, adventure, new characters, enjoyable tale. I've enjoyed the series so far, and look forward to continuing along.

In this entry, Doc Ford is minding his own business when a former lover shows up.She's married now, and her husband has disappeared after joining a cult. Like most cults, there is a very shady side to it, concerning a casino the cult wants to open on land owned by the Calusa Indians, a tribe consisting of the children of a late friend of Doc'sFunnier than a lot these novels, with some very poetic justice.

I should have started reading these books in order, but no matter, #10 maintains the same brilliant writing as book #1 (and I didn't feel at all lost or behind). I love the characters and how they play off each other, how they evolve, and the well-conceived, nail-biting plots. Just a top-notch series that makes me want to live on Sanibel Island (I've only been to the Bubble Room!).
