About this listen

Hero of The Dreadful Lemon Sky is Travis McGee, a man of universal interest and independent means who lives on an old houseboat he won in a poker game. One evening a young woman shows up with a suitcase full of cash. McGee agrees to be bagman. She tells him what to do if she doesn't return. When she doesn't, McGee is left alone to deal with an intrigue that involves drugs, fear, passion, and death.

A promising start but a slow pace and convoluted plot makes me feel that MacDonald is bored with his creation and going through the motions.
After some of the best in the series this feel like it's run it's course.
A miss, that lacks atmosphere or drive in the flabby middle with a good ending, but is it worth the journey? maybe for completists but there are better.

A rare miss for MacDonald
