Good book

Ron McLarty is a good story teller keeps the story interesting and moving a long

great yarn in the series-good stand alone thriller

Randy Wayne wright paints a great picture of modern Florida and old Florida with a historical perspective. there's things to learn in his novels from fishing problems to old Florida style to contemporary conundrum that face Florida, besides a really good thriller that takes twists and turns if you've been reading it from the beginning or so great flashbacks of different characters throughout the book but it's also good read by itself the performance in audiobooks was entertaining and made for good listening.

entertaining, fast

good, fun story. I will listen to more books by Randy - a cross between Robert Ludlum and Get Shorty

Actually lived the life on Sanibel and Captiva

Having fished the waters from Boca Grande to Everglades City I find Randy Whites books real. What I enjoy the most is even though the stories are fiction were they take place are real and I have been there. His books are extremely well written and are the best I have read.

Shark River as a gateway

I read Shark River when it was first released. It was the first book by Randy Wayne White I’d read. I immediately went back to the first in the series and have read every one since. I’ve also given Shark River to many friends and colleagues and have seen it have the same affect on them. It has proven to be a powerful gateway to the work of Randy Wayne White!

The story in Shark River is compelling, the writing style is endlessly entertaining and the characters and setting extremely well developed.

I’ve wanted to get an Audible book for some time. I finally downloaded my first. And true to form, it had to be Shark River. Listening to the performance of the book was as much fun as I’d hoped it would be. I will now start to build an Audible library. Once again, Shark River has shown its gateway properties.

One of his best

I am rereading or listening to the series. This is one of his best. Like most books I enjoy, Doc Ford was recommended by friends or family. So to anyone reading this review, please take a chance. You will not be disappointed.
