A review by ogreart
The Deep Blue Good-By by John D. MacDonald

4.0

Coming from Florida I have heard of the TravisMcGee books, even know where the Bahia Mar Hotel is, but I never got around to reading them. This first book in the series has left me wanting more. McGee is a flawed hero, and that is what I like about him. He is not always a very nice person, but he has a personal code he lives by and tries hard to stick to, even when he knows it is going to cost him. The female characters are a little wooden to me, but I take into account that it was written in 1964 and that there were different social expectations then. For the time, the female characters show a strength that while not what people today would expect, was probably strong enough for when they were written.

I think I will continue reading the series. I want to see where it goes.
