Bone Deep

A Doc Ford Novel

De: Randy Wayne White

Narrado por: George Guidall

When a Crow Indian acquaintance of Tomlinson’s asks him to help recover relics stolen from his tribe, Doc Ford is happy to tag along - but neither Doc nor Tomlinson realize what they’ve let themselves in for. Their search takes them to the part of Central Florida known as Bone Valley, famous primarily for two things: A ruthless subculture of black-marketers who trade in illegal artifacts and fossils, and a multibillion-dollar phosphate industry whose strip mines compromise the very ground they walk on.

Neither enterprise tolerates nosy outsiders. For each, public exposure equals big financial losses - and in a region built on a million-year accumulation of bones, there is no shortage of spots in which to hide a corpse. Or two.

Bone deep was just average

Any additional comments?

I was happy to see Mr. Guidall remember how Tomlinson sounds again, but this book was pretty unremarkable. There was nothing riveting and it moved in a predictable path. The lunatic guy in the book was very unbelievable as a character, I found his character one-dimensional.

The last several books I have read by RWW, I've rallied against Doc dating Hannah Smith. But now that they sort of broke it off, I miss her. Doc is still my favorite character, but Ms. Smith is pretty remarkable too.

Tomlinson has become a third tier character now, I miss having his more cavalier moments in the books. While his demeanor remained the same, and several passages where classic Tomlinson, he became a bit of the side show in this one. I would love to see him and Doc go on a "vacation" together, or would love to see Doc get more involved with one of his kids and get the heck out of Florida for a change.

So so good. Thank you Mr. White.

I love the ending. Ethereal. Great mix of fossil Lore, Action, psychological manipulation, phosphorus education, all things doc Ford — Tomlinson — Native American story — plus a sprinkle of Hannah. I write this during March 2022. Mr. White– I hope you are still Writing Doc Ford books. Your cast awaits. Me too.

As usual well written.

We get so absorbed in thes stories. Living in SWFL, the area is so familiar.

Horrible narrator

It takes a special lack of ability to ruin a Doc Ford novel, but this narrator has it in spades...

with RWW & Doc since Sanabel Flats this was BAD

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

no
bad compared to all other RWW and Doc books

What do you think your next listen will be?

Best one yet!

Fun story and consistancy.
Love fossils and the yellow lab.
All the favorite characters are here.
Enjoy!!!

Ancient human evolution; truth VS myth in Florida.

I found it intriguing. adds dimension to Florida. A state I have never felt inclined to visit. I always felt the bones and history dating back thousands of year purely myth; now...

Guidall is great

I love anything George Guidall narrates and this was a very good story as well.

The information that I learned

I liked all the details that fills in the story and I learned a lot of stuff that I didn’t know
