Cinnamon Skin by John D. MacDonald

4.0

I knew I had read this book before, but didn't remember when, I thought it was much earlier in the 80s, so didn't expect to see it here on this list. First time I've read him in many years, and I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It has all the things I remember from the McGee books: every character, no matter how minor, gets their own story and real description, none are cardboard. McGee & Meyer are always making some general comment about the state of the world, some hold up better than others after 30 years, and there's plenty of action, though McGee is always more about figuring and manipulating character than using violence. This one had a great ending, a good story while they are tracking down the bad guy, and not enough Florida.
