"Right, mon," the driver replied. "That's Seven Mile Beach," Avery said." One of the most beautiful and most famous in the world. Right, mon? "Right, mon." "Sand as white as sugar.Warm,clear water.Warm,beautiful women. Right, mon?" "Right, mon." "Will they have the cookout tonight at the Palms?" "Yes, mon. Six o'clock." Who was that funny mon? Thanks a lot.

Is the book set in Jamaica by chance? This sounds like the typical Jamaican accent where "mon"="man"

Hi Alex! Yes, "mon" is "man" - or maybe short for "mon ami"? - but take it as an extra thrown-in friendly word like "sir", "boss", "pal", "bud" or "mate". Without it, the phrases would sound colder and blunter.
