Captiva

De: Randy Wayne White

Narrado por: George Guidall

“A Doc Ford novel has more slick moves than a snake in the mangroves. In Captiva, Randy Wayne White takes us places that no other Florida mystery writer could hope to find.”—Carl Hiaasen

Randy Wayne White is acclaimed as "wildly inventive" (The San Diego Union-Tribune), "a wonderful writer" (Paul Theroux), "a fine storyteller" (Peter Matthiessen), and "the rightful heir to John D. MacDonald" (The Tampa Tribune-Times). Now he delivers a wicked thriller that sends government agent-turned-marine biologist Doc Ford into dangerous new waters, as a Florida fishing dispute escalates into a deadly war that reaches across the ocean...

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The thriller Captiva is a lot like fishing...you are...caught!...One of the more dramatic finales in mystery fiction. White tells one whale of a story.”—Miami Herald

“An enticing brew of hard-drinking, thick-skulled anglers, plodding detectives, and plotting marina bosses. White knows a thing or two about friendship, love, and honor. He also knows it’s possible for neighbors who share the same small island to appreciate and understand each other so little.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Edginess is what sets White’s work apart from the pack....A prickly, enigmatic hero...Ambience, compelling characters and straight forward suspense.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Doc Ford series is great Love anything from Randy Wayne White

Everything except the problem expected from having to write a ordy review off an iphone whos keypad is only tice as wide as my thumb.

Enjoyable

Nice story with characters you don't run into very often in the books you read. George Guidall was superb as always. It was well worth the credit.

another good story

Randy Wayne White continues to weave the great tale. he includes elements of Florida history that most people don't know and this particular book about net fisherman and the conflict between them and sports fisherman. he brings to light some interesting backwoods characters the continue to make his novels both entertaining and educational. he has enough plot twists to keep you guessing. the audio performance is good and it's different than reading it helps you really feel the story in a different way.

Good story

really liked the story. I had gotten used to the previous narrator. Good story though

Another great Doc Ford novel@

Great story. Excellent characters. George Guidall's performance in narration is spot on as usual.

Excellent Listen!

Great Author!

I miss Dick Hill from the first three novels: I look for audio books where he's the performer. This guy narrating this novel is dry to listen to. Otherwise, the book is what you would expect from Mr. White. Very good!

Ardent Reader

George Guidall is a good narrator for some books but not this one. We need to go back to Dick Hill

Hooray!

So glad to see this appear on Audible. Not only one of the best of Randy Wayne White's Doc Ford series, but the added attraction of a George Guidall narration.

Captiva has all the landmarks of a great Doc Ford adventure: great information about South Florida and the lives of its long-time inhabitants, the wonderful regular characters in this world, anger at the unfairness and injustice of the modern world, romance, and edge-of-your-seat adventure.

Please bring the other missing parts of this series on board at Audible! This is a treat!

pronunciations

reader mispronounces to many important Florida words. ex. conch, Boca Grande, mako and a few others. bothers the hell outta me.

Best ever

Just found this author since George Guidall is the narrator. It is well written, has a sense of humor, and kept me guessing on what would happen next. I highly recommend this book and the author’s other books that uses the same characters
