My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’m a huge John D. MacDonald fan. I decided to open up this set of short stories because it was one I had not read and i haven’t read MacDonald in quite a while. These two are reasons why I need to reread other MacDonald books to see if time has changed my view of his work.
These two stories are lackluster at best. The first really doesn’t go anywhere and the second is paced to be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled. I think I’ve read too many like the second story so that I knew where it was going. Likely if I had read it when the story came out, I would find it a genuine thriller.
The writing is good MacDonald, but not great. The characters in both stories are pretty thin.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book – 4 out of 10
