The Man Who Invented Florida

The rich background of Florida's development adds so much flavor to the story. I wonder how much was based on real events or local lore.

The book has a lighthearted tone, but I was curious if others felt the humor balanced well with the mystery or if it sometimes undercut the tension.

Blending real historical elements with fiction can be tricky — I’d love to hear what led to that creative choice and how much was researched.
