Even though this is number 26, this is my first novel I've read in this series. Randy Wayne White is known for his excellent skills in mystery writing, and this book did not disappoint. It has twists, family secrets, and of course a mystery waiting to be solved. I'm interested in checking out more of this series after reading this one.

Another great story incorporating all of the characters that Randy Wayne White has created. It’s nice to see some continuity in a series and relies on past books to build upon. I can see the stories coming to an end (everyone is getting older) sometime in the (not near hopefully) future. The book flowed and I read it in a couple of days which for me is the sign of a good read.

A clever concept for the latest Doc Ford tale, but it feels as though the Dinkins Marina folks are becoming ossified. The benevolent, randy hippie, the secretive locals, and the local marine biologist with special skills all feature prominently but never grow.

I hate to admit it, even though I live in the area Salt River takes place I have never read a book by Randy Wayne White. Salt River is a well written entertaining story. I plan on going back and reading the rest in the series.

Randy Wayne White continues to churn out page turning tales featuring marine biologist cum secret agency soldier, Doc Ford, and his beach bum genius friend, Tomlinson. In SALT RIVER a slew of Tomlinson’s test tube heirs arrive on his island slice of Florida paradise to make sense of their shared history and dubious lineage. With this crew comes dangers, double crosses, and dalliances only found in a Doc Ford novel. The descriptions are beautiful, the dialogue sparkling, and the plot just labyrinthine enough to keep readers anxiously turning pages. Highly recommend!
