One Deadly Eye

By: Randy Wayne White

Narrated by: George Guidall

From New York Times bestselling author Randy Wayne White, after the deadliest hurricane to hit Florida’s Gulf Coast in a century, Doc Ford must stop a gang of thieves—and worse—during the twelve hours of chaos that follow the passing of a storm’s eye.

A Russian diplomat disappears while Doc is tagging great white sharks in South Africa, and members of a criminal brotherhood, Bratva, don’t think it’s a coincidence. They track the biologist to Dinkin’s Bay Marina on the west coast of Florida, where Brotherhood mercenaries have already deployed, prepared to pillage and kill in the wake of an approaching hurricane.

No one, however, is prepared for a cataclysmic event that will forever change the island and leaves Doc to deal with escapees from Russia’s most dangerous prison, including a serial killer—the Vulture Monk—who has a taste for blood. His only ally is an enigmatic British inventor whose decision to ride out the storm might have more to do with revenge than protecting a priceless art collection.

Doc has a lot at stake—the lives of his fiancée, Hannah Smith, and their son, plus the fate of his hipster pal, Tomlinson, whose sailboat has disappeared in the Gulf of Mexico. The greatest threat of all, though, is a force that cannot be escaped—a Category Five hurricane that, minute by minute, melds sins of the past with Florida's precarious future.

I enjoyed the book

As always, the doc Ford series or very enjoyable… I found it very interesting and made me smile

Not outstanding

After 27 books, they seem the same. Even the mystery that remains at the end wasn’t surprising

Suspenseful!

Kept you on the edge of your seat! We had to sit in the truck just to listen to it.

Effect of Cat 5 Hurricane.

Interesting to hear about the details of living thru a Cat 5 hurricane.
Also the prep and after how a lot of the prep was wasted.
The story of the international criminals is disturbing.

Great pace and story

This was yet another great piece of work with Doc involved in a series of events around a hurricane. Missed having Tomlinson, but it was still a good listen.

Terrible reader!

I love this author and his characters. But the reader is awful! I haven’t finished the book. I will finish it but the voice is grating and hard to understand. He doesn’t vary his character voices enough. It’s hard to tell which character is speaking.

Skip the audio and buy the book

The narration ruined the audio experience. I have dozens of audio books in my library and this is the first time that the narrator was a distraction.

The Storytelling was Scrumptious

The storytelling keeps the readers on their toes… never a dull moment. Plus… just loved the audiobook. George Guidall never disappoints. Thanks Randy. It was so fun to get lost in a Doc Ford novel. Great book to start the summer.

Like hearing from an old friend

I first when i bought the first or one of the books in a bookstore in Sanibel where took my family for three or four years. Unfortunately I haven’t been back in 20 or more years. I stopped reading when a few of his books weren’t up to the early ones
I’m glad I gave this one a chance.
Critics can criticize a few things and I might agree with them
But over all I think it’s a fun read, perfect for reading on a vacation reading, particularly on Sanibel

Good story- Poor Narration

Next time I’ll be sure NOT to listen to the audio version of RWW novels- because the narration is much too choppy, hesitant and flat.
Missed having Tomlinson’s character in the actual storyline (he was only mentioned).
The story was good, however, and I look forward to the next novel- which I’ll READ.
