The Deep Blue Good-By by John D. MacDonald
3.0
3.5. Pulpy beach noir, some slick action and investigating. It makes total sense Lee Child wrote the introduction for this because McGee is a proto-Reacher in that he's multiple steps ahead of everyone (until he's not, which is a fun twist), every woman in the book wants to sleep with him and most of the men he encounters deeply respect him. If you were teaching a class on male gaze, this would make a great text.
[Got this at Lemuria Books in Jackson, MS. The proprietor, John Evans, recommended it to me when I asked him if they had any Elmore Leonard. (They had plenty, and an autographed framed photo because Dutch used to swing by back in the day.) I cannot recommend that place enough.]
