The root of all evil.,
By
This review is from: Price of Murder (Hardcover)
This pre-Travis McGee John D. MacDonald crime novel does not hook you from the beginning. The first three chapters show little promise as MacDonald draws verbal character portraits which strongly suggest The Price of Murder is going to be merely a hackneyed melodrama pitting good against evil.
Fortunately, by chapter 4, things start to heat up as the novel's underlying plot begins unfolding in earnest. The Price of Murder is a tale of hardboiled crime wherein greed and covetousness lead to multiple shocking murders in a small city somewhere in the American heartland. This is a book which starts off slow but in subsequent chapters gets better and better. Recommended to aficionados of hardboiled crime. |
