Book Ideas?
 
I love to read fiction based on the locale I'm visiting. My next trip is to So. Florida. Any ideas? I have James Hall on the list already. Light stuff please - I'm going on vacation!

And any of Elmore Leonard's that are set in FL. In fact, I just finished his new book, When the Women Come Out to Dance. It's a book of short stories, and the best thing about it is each story features a character from one of his past novels. A real treat for Leonard fans!

If you like crime fiction Edna Buchanan is great. All novels set in Miami with terrific descriptions of so. Florida.
