A review by ferrisscottr
A Purple Place for Dying by John D. MacDonald

3.0

Well this was so-so. It had a decent mystery, decent amount of action, great characters but somehow taking Travis and putting him in a desert setting just killed a lot of the enjoyment of the story (he's a beach bum after all). The writing was good but it just didn't suck me in as much as MacDonald's other books that I have read.
