The Green Ripper by John D. MacDonald

5.0

Four and ¾ stars. Not quite a page-turner clear through; there were a few long paragraphs about the backgrounds of newly introduced characters that slowed it down a bit for me in the middle. But it contains fascinating subject matter for a mystery novel: (Intermediate Spoilers) Clues point to some sort of religious cult, which Travis McGee infiltrates and then learns of it's involvement with some sort of terrorist organization. So most of the "slow" parts are still a page-turner as the fascinating details of the bad guys' operations are revealed. Then there are the fast-paced parts . . .
