Hudson Strikes Gold
This is Hudson's third book about police detective Bev Henderson and I've read all three. I guess that makes me a fan, especially as I'll be looking for book four.
Like her earlier novels, Shades of Gold is full of laid-back Florida sun, sea, scuba diving, a bit of romance, Jimmy Buffet and murders to solve. There are no Carl Hiaasen wacko's this time around; Hudson's maturing. The villain here is a piece of work that Travis McGee would have taken on. Glad to see it.
