7. Andrew Mayne/Sloan McPherson series

Dec 2023

Florida. Underwater investigations. Sloan is a cop raising her daughter, diving with alligators, fighting corruption. Her dad and uncle also longtime smugglers and pirates. This family knows the water and how to survive like no other.

Nature settings: Everglades, manatees, mangroves. Fish. Post Travis McGee.

Series improves with later titles. Tighter prose. Fast pace. Smart dialogue. Less diving technique.

I really enjoyed Sea Storm and Sea Castle.
