I wouldn't say that Dorsey is best - he's a lot of fun and a great read. If you are into the Florida genre then a great story, based on a real person, is Matthiessen's "Killing Mr Watson". After you have read it take a drive down to Everglades City and then out to the old post office (now a museum) on Chokoloskee Island and you can page through the photo album and see pictures of all the characters in the book - really cool. Another great Florida writer is Randy Wayne White with the Doc Ford novels - they are all good but "The Man Who Invented Florida" is in my opinion the best. On your way to Chokoloskee stop off at Sanibel Island at Doc Fords Bar & Grill - White spends time there writing. I appreciate being told about James T. Hall - I'll pick up a couple of his books next time I am at the library. And . . . more a Caribbean genre but I did like the characters in Buffett's "A salty piece of land".
