Great mystery filled with great characters with interesting motivations, including a host of bad people ranging from petty villainy to monstrous. Liked Travis McGee's jaded philosophy, the amount of detail put into even incidental characters, and the bittersweetness of the ending. ( )
Another solid McGee novel, maybe not as good as the best but still very enjoyable. It has a decent mystery, the requisite love interest, a solid helping of sleaze and a marvelously downbeat ending. ( )
Some tiny outdated views in this one but I can give it a pass considering how long ago the book was published. You think the mystery is obvious all the way to the end but at the last minute the mystery isn't so obvious so more well not to me anyway, a nice twist plus we get a tragic romance thrown in which is quite heartbreaking for our hero. I enjoyed this one but not as much as the other McGee novel's I've read so far. ( )
