A review by wampusreynolds
The Green Ripper by John D. MacDonald

3.0

One of the best crime writers ever barely delivers here. A great beginning with a loss described with great emotion and effect should lead to an investigation that impresses upon McGee to use his wits and instinct to decode and solve. Instead he lands in one place and goofballs basically just walk up to him and reveal all that's going on. The main set piece of revenge isn't that interesting or well-managed. Still, MacDonald not at his best is still pretty good.
