I'm struggling to get through these McGee novels now. The set up is great - McGee avenging the supposed suicide of an old friend - but the bulk of this is dull real estate talk with a sting from McGee and the dull, smug Meyer. The ending is good with another exciting action scene on the boat and there is some decent description of small towns in Florida. But the middle section was hard for me.
He has a girlfriend Puss who hangs around and disappears - it turns out she thought she was going to die, so rooted McGee to feel better, then got better and... anyway I just wish she was more involved in the plot. He doesn't have sex with the grieving widow and gets high fives for it.
