This was really a fun read; I expected to find it dry and I was so wrong. The book is well written, easy to read and funny as heck.

I am now reading Backwater Flats by Steven Becker.

When an officer's murder in Biscayne National Park threatens to expose a corrupt agency, one man is tasked with finding the killer, but he’s running into a wall of organizational conspiracy built to conceal a devious plot.

Special Agent Kurt Hunter is fighting to find the truth hidden behind a maze of twisted coworkers and interagency tensions. His investigation leads him through the pristine waters of the national park to the brightest and darkest sides of Miami. But when Kurt gets too close to exposing the scam and his family is threatened, he’s forced to take justice into his own hands.

Fans of Wayne Stinnett, Clive Cussler, and John D MacDonald will enjoy this South Florida adventure. A devoted fan writes: “Grab a cold beer and relax while you follow Kurt Hunter. You won’t be sorry!”

This is book 7 of 15. Somehow I read these out of order but they are quite good. Bonus: it is set in the Florida Keys, one of my favorite places
