Bone Deep by Randy Wayne White
Narrator: George Guidall
Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins
Date Read: March 2014
Genre: Mystery
More Information:The stunning new thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author.
When a Crow Indian acquaintance of Tomlinson’s asks him to help recover a relic stolen from his tribe, Doc Ford is happy to tag along—but neither Doc nor Tomlinson realize what they’ve let themselves in for. Their search takes them to the part of Central Florida known as Bone Valley, famous primarily for two things: a ruthless subculture of black-marketers who trade in illegal artifacts and fossils, and a multibillion-dollar phosphate industry whose strip mines compromise the very ground they walk on.
Neither enterprise tolerates nosy outsiders. For each, public exposure equals big financial losses—and in a region built on a million-year accumulation of bones, there is no shortage of spots in which to hide a corpse. Or two.
Publisher: Penguin Audio, Putnam Adult
Series: Doc Ford Mystery #21
JUST A NOTE: Read It File It is for books that I have read that I need to keep track of. The reviews will be super short (think tweet longer length) but will serve the purpose of getting the books into UBB for tracking purposes 🙂

First Thought when Finished: Bone Deep by Randy Wayne White was a pretty interesting mix of mystery and history!
Read It File It: I will admit I picked up Bone Deep because of the narrator and synopsis. I realize that it is number 21 in the series but honestly I never felt lost while reading. Randy writes a pretty good mystery and throws in some history to boot. The characters are engaging and overall this was a pretty good listen.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By George Guidall / Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins
George is hands down one of my favorite narrators on the planet. He is just awesome at procedural and has a thing for nailing slightly older leading men. He still makes them sound darn sexy!
Final Thoughts: I think I will be checking out more books in this series!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

You’re way braver than me when it comes to diving in late in a series.
It sounds a little like Beverley Connor’s Lindsay Chamberlain series which features an archaeologist. If you feel like giving it a shot, try “Skeleton Crew” which was simply smashing.
I’m also impressed that you could start with #21 so easily. Authors who can do that for readers are talented!
Not feeling lost when you jumped into book 21 is pretty impressive! Next time I’m feeling like a mystery, I’ll check this author out 😉
Wow – 21st book int he series? At least it made sense to you 🙂

I haven’t listened to anything by George, but if he is one of your favs even over Luke Daniels and Will Patton then I must give him a listen.
Aww audios, I was so desperate so I had to go for Insurgent
I don’t know if I’ve listened to this narrator, but I’m totally going to look him up now!
I love that you were able to jump in at book 21..wow. This sounds interesting and I do love the blend of history and mystery.
