Didn't win

I entered a contest to win a visit to Sanibel to have dinner with Randy Wayne White..it was a long shot, and I didn't win..but I entered because this series is so compelling

I am now on book 20, Night Moves There are only two books so far I didn't care for much. One was Hunter's Moon, because there wasn't enough of Tomlinson in it. The other is Chasing Midnight; while it had a bit more of Tomlinson in it, it wasn't a Tomlinson I recognized much.

In those two books I missed the fishing guides, and other characters in the most recent books, as well as the historical references, and marine life information.  In addition Doc Ford was a little more in touch with his clandestine side to the detriment of his more introspective side, but gosh...I remain a fan and am hooked by the plots, Doc Ford and Tomlinson.  Night Vision was a bit weak in some respects as well, but I was engaged by the main character's view point in that one, and the information regarding immigrants, migrant workers, and Mayan descendents.  2-3 books not hitting a home run with me, out of 22, isn't bad at all.  I mean truly, the others' home runs were totally out of the ball park. The majority of his narratives are just wonderfully written.


His latest book arrives today, and I have to finish Night Moves and, Bone Deep prior to starting Cuba Straits.

I still can't believe I became so hooked on this series, that I have ignored other authors I love....but what can I say, they are compelling.
