Book review - McGee#10 - "The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper" by John D MacDonald (1968)

McGee gets a request from an ex (who he seduced when she was recovering from a bad marriage) who has died... to look after her daughter who is in trouble. Presumably McGee thinks he can bang her  - or her sister; he thinks about it but doesn't go through with it.

There was a lot of plot here - a lot - heaps of stuff about real estate fraud that got confusing. He has sex with a nurse who winds up dead. There's an intriguing relationship with a cop. Good action but all the plot and investigation got me down. And McGee got on my nerves a lot.
