About this listen

This time out, McGee comes close to losing his status as a living legend when he agrees to track down the killers who brutally murdered an ailing millionaire. For starters, he renews an unfinished adventure with a famous - and oversexed - Hollywood actress, who leads him into a very nasty nest of murderers involving a motorcycle gang, pornographic movies, and mad balloonists. And McGee relearns the old lesson - that only when he comes close to the edge of death does he feel he completely alive.

Not my favourite story. Sorry it just didn’t hold me. Didn’t hold me mentally like many of the Travis McGhee stories.

Love the character of Travis McGee

A promising start but it seems to meander away from the case. It’s very good in parts but overall a bit average for a McGee novel.
Maybe after nearly 20 novels the tropes are easy to spot and played out. No great monologue though so it fell a bit flat

Not the best
