5.0 out of 5 stars I had no idea MacDonald was so good, January 28, 2005
By Seanmoon (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
My mother collects the paperbacks, and I bought her a bunch for Christmas this year, and, on a sick day when I had nothing else to read that felt right for a sick day, I picked up the Lonely Silver Rain and read it straight through. I wish I hadn't started with the last book in the series, but I was still quite glad to have read it. The writing in this book is several cuts above that of the average mystery; in fact, the mystery or adventure or whatever you want to call it is only about 1/3 of the book. The 2/3 that is the incredible, thoughtful voice of MacDonald as Travis McGee is what has me determined to dig up copies of the whole series and read it straight through.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't have been better . . ., November 3, 1999
By A Customer
The Travis McGee series represents one of the greatest accomplishments of American fiction -- ever. Never mind the rumors of MacDonald working on another story (before he died) with the color "Black" in the title, this is the way a series should end. Travis has taken countless blows, physical and emotional, throughout his career. In this novel, however, we see Travis's rusty armour nearly falling off, his horse nearly crippled, and his enemies closing in on all sides for the kill. As he triumphs one last time over the insurmountable odds, he gains a new reason to continue being the white knight. While this book is superb, I wouldn't recommend reading it until you've read at least a few others in the series (especially "Pale Gray for Guilt"). Not only will you understand more about the plot and characters, you will have more invested in seeing Travis's ultimate redemption.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Ending, December 21, 2004
'The Lonely Silver Rain' is an excellent Travis McGee novel in all respects. It's also the perfect ending to the best run of detective novels ever written. Part of me sad that there the knight in tarnished armor will never sally forth on another adventure. Another part of me is glad that his story ended well, and with class. Besides, I can always go back and read the Travis McGee books again. And again. And again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A top quartile book ! Back from the past.
