Another good book in the Doc Ford series by White. This is my least favorite of the series but it was still a pretty good story. I look forward to more. (

What the heck did I Just spend the last 5 days of my life reading? Ugh. About as obtuse as Doc felt Tuck was, maybe worse. Totally confused by the whole mess. The plot needed cliff notes. Sneaky uncle. WTH was the bit about the blown-up boat at the end? Geez. Was Joseph dead or alive? Made me feel like I fell asleep and missed whole paragraphs...which I didn't but I did have to re-read a lot. Just not my cup of tea. The interesting bits about Florida were lost in the painted dogs on the stolen horse's ass. (

Filled with colorful characters and Florida history. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more stories about Doc. Ford and Tomlinson and their adventures. This was a great read from start to finish. (
