About this listen

A Purple Place for Dying finds Travis McGee witness to a murder he can't prove and a kidnapping nobody wants to believe. McGee becomes a pawn between a wealthy Southwestern patriarch, the law, and a mysterious gang bent on insurance fraud. Just the kind of thing McGee revels in!

100% Travis Magee at his best. Jack Reacher in shorts. He just gets better and better.

I read this book a long time ago but it hasn't aged well. Long, boring text and dated in its outlook. I wouldn't recommend sadly.
