The Man Who Invented Florida by Randy Wayne White

I have read all of the Dusky MacMorgan, all of the Hawker series, and several of the Doc Ford books and, until now, enjoyed them but I really, really didn't like The Man Who Invented Florida. The book dragged non-stop. The "mystery" in this book involved this disappearance of 3 men, and it is barely a side story in the book and basically solves itself. I read the first half of the book and skimmed this second half and, when i finished, i can't remember the last time I was so relieved to be done with something.
