Doc Ford Mystery

review 1: A really interesting plot which gave a glimpse into two topics I know nothing about: scuba diving and Florida wildlife. The plot was so elaborately devised and the descriptions so well written that I found the middle of the book too much to read at times. I had to take breaks because the claustrophobic situation the characters were going through was just too intense for me. I think the author spent too much time on the back stories of the characters (one of the back stories had a back story!), and that really pulled the reader away from the intensive situation the characters found themselves in.
review 2: The reunion of Doc Ford with Will Chaser who played an important role in his previous Dead Silence along with the ever present Tomlinson, and an old fishing... more guide named Arlis Futch make for a humorous read. You have so many different types of characters mingling together to search for a plane thought lost to the world along with it's supposed immense treasure make for an interesting read. Throw in 2 killers on the run who happen to come across these defenseless "treasure hunters" in the middle of nowhere with no civilization close by, and they all are at the bottom of mother nature's food chain as soon becomes evident. Doc Ford with his glasses tied around his neck with fishing line, Tomlinson the skinny as a flamingo hippy, Will Chaser the hot blooded Indian, Arlis Futch the grumpy old fishing guide, and King and Perry at an isolated, desolate, body of water with hot tempers, itchy trigger fingers, bad tempers, and a tendency for violence make for a volatile combination. Have as much fun as I did keeping up with these characters, and story line! less
