After quite a slow and disappointing start with the first book in the Travis McGee series, I must say this book took quite a turn in the opposite direction. The story scared me so much I almost couldn't believe it was by the same author. The expression "had me on the edge of my seat" certainly applied here. And by now, Travis (Trav) McGee had started to worm his way into my heart.

A Must Read
I recommend all of John D. MacDonad's novels and short stories. See my review of the The Quick Red Fox
