Another good book in the Doc Ford series by White. This is my least favorite of the series but it was still a pretty good story. I look forward to more. ( )
What the heck did I Just spend the last 5 days of my life reading? Ugh. About as obtuse as Doc felt Tuck was, maybe worse. Totally confused by the whole mess. The plot needed cliff notes. Sneaky uncle. WTH was the bit about the blown-up boat at the end? Geez. Was Joseph dead or alive? Made me feel like I fell asleep and missed whole paragraphs...which I didn't but I did have to re-read a lot. Just not my cup of tea. The interesting bits about Florida were lost in the painted dogs on the stolen horse's ass. ( )

Her eyes moved shyly from Tuck to Henry, then back to Tuck while Ford looked on, amused, at first, but then with a dawning fascination-his mind scanning through rmnants of all the old stories his uncle had told him about Cuba- as he watched the woman reach to brush hair from her face, her smooth hand marked by the tatoo of a small blue sea horse....
