A little dated but still an intriguing mystery with interesting characters. (

I do understand that this book was published in 1966. Nonetheless, even for me, a reader mostly willing to overlook such things, the sexism in this novel is just too rank.

Mark_Feltskog | Dec 23, 2023 |

Second time I’ve started this book. I have to call it quits at ~20%.

I don’t know what was going on in the author’s life at the time, but the whole tone is darker and more depressing. Maybe it was the time he was writing (post Kennedy assassination, civil rights riots).

I will skip this one and move along in the series. Hopefully, things will get back on track for McGee and his devil-may-care lifestyle touched by chivalry. (

Another good Travis McGee thriller. Fun read. This author just did it better then his contemporaries. (

As always Travis gets into a couple of life endangering scrapes, and as always find unique ways out. A couple of his ladies are endangered but don't die, but there is plenty of death. LSD plays a role dating the story. It goes to Chicago but managed to stay and end in Florida. (
