June 5, 2008 - Book: A Deadly Shade of Gold!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.05, 2008, under Books
This is one of two John D. MacDonald novels of “salvage consultant” Travis McGee I put off reading for a future date. I read the other 19 back in the late ’70s through the mid-80s. Back then I was concerned I would never be able to read a new McGee novel after the death of MacDonald in 1986.
On my 45th birthday May 10th I realized that, as the wise philosopher Snuffy Smith said: “Times A’Waistin’!” Thus I opened ‘A Deadly Shade of Gold’. I figure next year I’ll take on the last I haven’t read.
The funny thing is that I only partly remember the others, so I might as well read them again!
