Night Moves

By: Randy Wayne White

Narrated by: George Guidall

Doc Ford has his share of secrets. One of them has returned with a vengeance. . . .

While trying to solve one of Florida’s most profound mysteries, Doc Ford is the target of a murder attempt by someone who wants to make it look like an accident. Or is the target actually his friend Tomlinson? Whatever the answer, the liveaboards and fishing guides at Dinkin’s Bay on Sanibel Island are becoming increasingly nervous—and wary—after a plane crash and other near-death incidents make it apparent that Ford and Tomlinson are dangerous companions.

What their small family of friends doesn’t know is that their secret pasts make it impossible for them to seek help from the law. There is an assassin on the loose, and it is up to Doc and Tomlinson to find a killer before the grisly job is done.

Critic reviews

Praise for NIGHT MOVES

“Over his last several Doc Ford novels, White has vaulted to mainstream bestseller status. This one is likely to maintain the pattern.”—Booklist

“Captivating . . . [an] intriguing installment.”—Publishers Weekly

“White weaves in and out of the two mysteries — the murder attempt and Flight 19 — telling the story with the same tight, vivid prose his fans have come to expect. The result is another strong addition to one of crime fiction’s most consistent series.”—Associated Press

“Drawing on his usual mix of science, ecology and Florida lore, White reels in an exciting story in "Night Moves” . . . [the novel] illustrates why, after 20 novels, Ford's double life and White's attention to the Florida scenery continue to intrigue readers.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Pretty good, but the narration was off

Any additional comments?

So I've read almost all of the Doc. Ford book Series. The narrator is the same for almost all of the books. For some reason, Tomlinson's voice is a bit different in this book than all of the rest. I've gotten so used to the narrator's representation of my favorite hippie's voice, that I found the change very distracting in this book.

With that negative out of the way, overall the book was really good. As with almost the entire series, I can't seem to put it down, and I seem to always finish the books in only a few car rides. In this case, I was visiting Seattle and Portland. I don't remember much of the car ride or trip, but I remember the book! I like Hannah enough, that I am looking forward to the next Doc. Ford book, but to quench my thirst for more, I may have to start reading the Hannah series now.

Great story

Love all the Doc Ford series !!!
Humor , mystery and science .
Characters come to life and keeps me coming back for more.

Good but not great.

Doc is always a good story, but this had a lot of smaller stories that were Loosely linked together.

My favorite Doc Ford

This book has multiple intersecting stories as all the Doc Ford Novels do. Here they augment and complement each other perfectly, and they modulate between suspenseful, funny, and interesting. We meet the the snake-slayer dog, Pete, and the final Hannah Smith. We learn about the Avengers and the Bermuda triangle. And Doc gets a frenemy, an undercover assassin who is cooler, slimmer, richer—deadlier. It is a great book to listen to as well as read. I got used to the narrator after a while, though he does not sound like Doc would sound. He changes voice for different characters well.

Narrators voice too old

I enjoyed the story. Tomlinson and Ford have become some of my favourite characters. I did not like the reader of this story though. Ford is apparently 40-ish? But the narrator sounded like a sixty year old. Was distracting.
