Dismal, Florida consists of a single novel, Black and White, published in 2019. The book is set in a fictional Florida community and stands apart from McKenna’s Apalachicola-based series while keeping her signature Southern coastal atmosphere. It works as a standalone read for those who want to sample her writing without committing to a longer series.

McKenna is best known for her Forgotten Coast mystery series, and Black and White shares some of that DNA. The fictional town of Dismal gives her room to build a new setting from scratch, with the swamps and small-town politics that Florida crime fiction readers expect. For anyone curious about McKenna’s style, this standalone is a good entry point before diving into her longer Forgotten Coast books.
