FROM THE CRITICS
David Bowman - Salon
MacDonald, the last literate and unself-conscious pulp writer, was the first to explore the noir possibilities of Florida. All the titles in his Travis McGee series are precious junk. In this one -- part John Updike, part Jane Eyre -- the lethal Florida beach bum/sexual healer attempts to rescue a housewife held captive in suburbia by her hubby's mind-control drugs.
