He says John D. MacDonald was the best. He's got that right. I do not remember who introduced me to John D. MacDonald, but if I did I'd sent him a Christmas present every year.

Don't forget McDonald's non-McGee stuff. Last One Left & One More Sunday might be the best crime stories out there.

I have enjoyed John D. McDonald novels and may go back to read some of them again.
I also have enjoyed Ross Thomas novels and they are just as interesting as John D's. So check them out as well.
To: Temple Owl
Thanks for the thread Owl. Like many others, I thought it was either an obit or opus for Freeper Travis McGee. I've been chuckling all the way down the thread. :-)

I haven't read John MacDonald but it is hard to believe that popular fiction can get any better that the aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O-Brian.
