In a Small Motel by John D. MacDonald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A thrilling short story by MacDonald set in south Georgia that is set in a favorite spot of the author. He wrote a number of books and short stories set at the roadside motels and all illustrate life as it was for owners of facilities during the late ’50s through the ’60s. This one reminded me initially of, a favorite of mine of MacDonald’s, ‘Crossroads’. But the truncated structure has this tale develop differently and takes angles not quite expected.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
