Judging by the cover of this book I was expecting a funny over the top Florida story and, while it had some of those elements, it also had a bit of a darker edge.
I really enjoyed the two previous books that I have listened to by this author but this one was a bit of a chore to get through. The premise of a lost at sea artist from Key West whose work soars in value sounded good but quite a lot of the book was rather depressing. The narration was done by Ric...
Oh my, forgot to list this book which I really, really enjoyed. Love books set in Florida and especially descriptive Florida scenes. And Shames' characters are very colorful characters.Shames has a sense of humor which is a little off kilter...kind of like mine, so I love his writing.
Fascinating subject matter, although the writing drags quite a bit at times. Still worth the read, just for the inside story on what these people were really like.
