Ten Thousand Islands

By: Randy Wayne White

Narrated by: Ron McLarty

Author of best-selling mysteries including Mangrove Coast, Randy Wayne White sets his novels in the Florida waters he knows so well - he is a veteran fishing guide and contributor to Outside magazine. Ten Thousand Islands is the seventh in the Doc Ford series.

Fifteen years ago, a teenage girl found an ancient gold medallion on a small island off the Florida gulf coast. Soon she was having nightmares and later was found hanging from a tree. Although the death was ruled a suicide, the girl's mother, Della, is now sure there was foul play. Her trailer has been vandalized, and her daughter's coffin raided. When Della comes to Doc for help, the mysterious gold medallion plunges the Florida marine biologist into a perilous search for answers.

Filled with suspense and highly charged atmosphere, Ten Thousand Islands received rave reviews from critics. Ron McLarty's dramatic narration highlights its gripping mixture of ancient ritual and modern evil.

Critic reviews

"One of the most satisfying thrillers in recent memory." ( Chicago Tribune)

Good with some suggestions

Ron did a good job of creating the story visuals. Took me awhile to get used to his voice and matching it with the "Doc Ford" view in my brain, he did Tomlinson very well. While a good story, this ranks somewhere in the middle of the Doc Ford books Randy has penned, and I've yet to find a bad one...

One suggestion for Ron, and God knows it is a hard thing to do, but being in Radio, as a DJ and then News Anchor/Director many years ago, you've got to know how to pronounce the names of towns and people's surnames....Think Boca Grande and Immokalee. Not exactly how Ron pronounced them...the locals, and I was one back in the 1950s and early 60s, pronounce them different.

Still good stuff..

Another Great One!

Really enjoyed this one. I learn so much with the Doc Ford books. Excellent narrator.

Great listen

Absolutely my favorite so far in the series. Great work Randy. Looking forward to the next book

Excellent Narration

The narrator took a pretty interesting story and made it a joy to listen to.

Awesome, like the TV show The Finder, but better

I love this book, I really do. It's like a better, more substantial version of the tv show The Finder. (Its a spin-off from the show Bones) Seriously, listen and enjoy. I'm pretty sure if I find this book in paperback, I'll buy it and actually read it with my eyeballs.
