5.0 out of 5 stars Travis finds more than just hot air in this thriller!, 21 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Fall in Crimson (Mass Market Paperback)
In "Free Fall in Crimson," the 19th Travis McGee episode, author John D. MacDonald refuses to be tied up with boundaries. In fact, this book seems a great deal like a geography lesson, as the plot takes him from Ft. Lauderdale, to other Florida parts, to Beverly Hills, and, finally, to Iowa for the climactic scene!

However, readers should not let that put them off another top-flight installment in the McGee series--this time involving, yes, a murder and other corruption, a hot

air balloon competition.

The plot is set aloft when Ron Esterland approaches Travis for help--seems he's been completely cut out of his inheritance when his father was murdered two years earlier (most of the estate has been left to his estranged wife and her filmmaker friend). Ron wants Travis to find the truth about the murder, suspecting that the wife and friend had much to do with it.

Travis' pursuit then takes him cross country, eventually landing in Roseland,

Iowa, where a film is being made about a hot-air balloon meet. As with the other McGee stories, MacDonald keeps us on the edge until the final pages. It is not that we don't know the guilty party; it is just that Travis must find a way to secure justice--usually his own brand--as many of the guilty are "out of bounds" to legal prosecution.

Readers will not be disappointed in either the story or McGee! While the series does not require a chronological reading, the earlier books establish the characters (especially McGee and economist friend Meyer). The first book is "The Deep Blue Goodby"--and it's a good place to get started, to "channel" the McGee interest. But regardless, "Free Fall in Crimson" merely adds to the charm of the series and of the character--it will leave you grasping for air!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dopesters, Perverts and Assorted Predators, 3 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Free Fall in Crimson (Mass Market Paperback)
Travis McGee agrees to find the people who killed Ellis Esterland at a rest stop in Citrus City. The evidence suggests that the murder was committed by bikers. The book is loaded with low lifes in the form of dopesters, perverts and assorted predators. McGee manages to keep himself above it all but also shows some flaws not so obvious in earlier novels.
