When McGee picks up the phone and hears a voice from the past, he can't help it. He has to meddle. Especially when he has the chance to reunite Sam Taggart, a reckless, restless man like himself, with the woman who's still waiting for him.

Travis McGee is inside my head

My favorite Travis McGee novel, I think because there’s less of a formulaic feel (not the word I want to use, because I love McDonald’s formula) and a clear theme - you never really know someone, even when you think you do. The reader was perfect, mixes his voice to match characters when they interact with Travis (The McGee novels are always 1st person), and he has a great feel and flow.

Great story with a fun twist

This is another fun book with more than a few twists to keep it entertaining.

great book love t maghee

Love the narrator and gobble up all the books in this series I can. Still relevant.

Confusing but enjoyable

I’m working my way through all the Travis McGee books. I liked this one but there were a lot of characters and you have to pay close attention.

Surprisingly Good

Enjoyed the story-
Even though it was seven years old- well done & interesting . Would recommend
