Praise for this book
I really liked the book and series. Loved it being in Arcadia and area .
Keep me entertained and wanting to finish book.
If you are a Floridian and like Florida history, this is a good novel. Takes place in rural Arcadia in the orange groves in the 80’s. Young Nora, recently out of college, takes over the running of the farm from her elderly grandpa. It was interesting to find out that the Escobar drug cartel was running operations in this area making drops of cocaine and some of the farm workers got involved in distribution which spawns murder and a romance between Nora and the young sheriff, Cabe. Not sure whether the romance is fact based or not. The writing was good, it held my interest and I listened to the audio version which was also very good.
