Good Florida coast read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep End (Paperback)
If you like the type of main character found in James Lee Burke novels (ex-Viet Nam, military, tough guy sort), I recommend this book. Good plot, pretty good character development and lots of mood found in the north coast of Florida environs. These guys that live in old mossy big mansions on the canals and waterways of Florida have got it made! They seem to have the money to spend plenty of time fishing and watching great flaming sunsets over the gulf... and they always have the time to help out a friend who is in trouble. It's what I would call a good "airport read"... You will probably have to search the used book stores for this one. His books are hard to find.
4.0 out of 5 stars
No. 1 Travis McGee clone,
By D. R. M. "wicmar" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deep End (Paperback)
It's unfortunate that when Geoffrey Norman wrote his four Morgan Hunt mysteries in the mid-90s, they didn't sell well enough to justify more in the series. If you like Travis McGee--John MacDonald's peerless 1964-1985 tough guy, philosopher and "salvage consultant," prototype for Spenser, Doc Ford and many others--the closest thing to him is Norman's Morgan Hunt. Fans of the first person, hard-boiled PI story, would do well to dig up copies of Norman's Sweetwater Ranch, Blue Chipper and Deep End. A fourth book in the series, Blue Light, seems unavailable in the US. You can get it through Amazon UK. Try out Morgan hunt, you won't regret it.
