A Tan and Sandy Silence

A Travis McGee Novel, Book 13

De: John D. MacDonald

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

Travis McGee is the strikingly handsome and ever resourceful invention of John D. MacDonald. Born in the author's imagination in 1964, McGee drifted into the world on a 52-foot diesel-powered houseboat, the Busted Flush, which he has used as a base of operations through many adventures. In this book, the private eye outwaits and outwits a deranged killer as he searches for a missing wife on a remote Caribbean island, where he also tangles with a baby-faced businessman with a taste for murder.

Travis McGee in the Caribbean

After reading the book and 1972 and collecting all of John McDonald’s works. It was great to revisit this nautical trip of Travis McGee.
I particularly like his description of the islands and Fort Lauderdale. Since I also had a boat at Bahia Mar marina, I take particular delight when Travis is aboard his “Busted Flush”.

John McDonald’s books are a very economical way to travel the world. All aboard?!

I first read this on 45 years ago

I first read this one 45 years ago, just as enjoyable the second time around

This one was odd... But good

This one was all over the map, but the bad guy is truly evil and keeps out-smarting poor Travis. Meyer takes his lumps and almost pays the ultimate price as Travis confronts his own mortality.

Great words to describe everything and keeps it I teresting.
