About this listen

Travis McGee never shies away from damsels in distress. But this Eurasian beauty was different. When Travis and Meyer rescued her from the water, she had a block of cement wired to her feet, and she wasn't so much grateful as ready to snare them in a murder racket to end all murders.

I have become an ardent fan of Travis McGee stories, just the right balance of excitement and humor - who wouldn't want to live a life like his?

I love this book

Any additional comments?

Another good example of noir pulp, however if you only read one McGee, Bright Orange for the Shroud is just a cut above the rest (only on book 7 so there may be better ones in the future)

More of the same, and that ain't a bad thing
