About this listen

Its cool gulf breezes lured him from a life of danger. Its dark undercurrents threatened to destroy him. After 10 years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system. But spending each day watching the sun melt into Dinkins Bay and the moon rise over the mangrove trees, cooking dinner for his beautiful neighbor, and dispensing advice to the locals over a cold beer lulled him into letting his guard down.

Then Rafe Hollins appeared. How could he refuse his old friend's request---even if it would put him back on the firing line? Even if it would change forever the life he'd built here on Sanibel Island?

wish the hero were more of a hero

main character is wishy-washy with the women in the book, i.e. thinking about getting serious, vs. a one night stand in the same evening. Not bad for a casual weekend read.

Fantastic Ending

When I started this book, I had high hopes. I winter in Ft. Myers Beach and the Sanibel area. At first I was bitterly disappointed. Not sure if it was the narrator or the story line. But by the second part, I was hooked. The ending left me smiling and hoping the 2nd book continues on.

Sanibel Flats

I love all of RWW books. I’ve been reading them since the early 90’s, now I get to listen to them, but I’ve started over from the beginning. A great travel companion.

A+++ South Florida Adventure

I really enjoyed this book, it was pretty much a dream line-up of plot elements: a secret agent (even if retired), south florida, central america, mayan history, revolutionaries, marine biology, and even a little painting.

I found it to be well written, and the twist at the end surprised me, which these days doesn't happen often. Doc Ford is a likeable character, super smart, funny, interesting, and the descriptions of Sanibel and sea life are wonderful. A++!

*On a side note, which has nothing to do with the author or the story, which I found to be top quality--I listened to the audio version, and I utterly loathed the narrator's performance. Look, I know it's not easy to embody several different characters with one voice, but geeze he butchered it. His voice didn't fit with the character of Doc, his interpretation of Tomlinson was very annoying, and any of the female voices were pure characacture. I intend to read this again sometime, and will continue with this series, but I will definitely go the old school paper route.

My first Doc Ford book

Where does Sanibel Flats rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is my first audiobook. I bought it after meeting the author by happenstance and thought I would check it out.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sanibel Flats?

Loved the suspense.

Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?

I feel he did a great job establishing all the characters. I thought he did an exceptional job with Jeff.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I could have, I certainly would.

Any additional comments?

What can I say ... I am hooked. I already downloaded the next 2 in the series. :)

Always a fun listen

I enjoy Doc and Tomlinson. the one thing I wish they would do is keep the same reader through the stories. the latest reader kills the book for me.
