The Deep Blue Good-By
by John D. MacDonald
Read physical book -
*The Deep Blue Good-by* by John D. MacDonald is a gripping crime novel that introduces the charismatic and quick-witted Travis McGee, a freelance “salvage consultant” with a knack for getting into—and out of—dangerous situations.
Travis is both a compelling protagonist and a morally complex figure, navigating the world of crime and betrayal with a cool confidence. Cathey, the beautiful dancer caught in a web of family history and stolen wealth, adds an emotional layer to the plot.
The antagonist, Allen, is a brutal, evil force. MacDonald’s characterization ensures that each of these characters are built out, contributing to the story’s gripping pace and emotional depth.
Overall, *The Deep Blue Good-by* is a fast-paced, well-written novel with memorable characters and sharp dialogue, making it a standout in the genre of hardboiled crime fiction.
Short fast read, my style.
