The Deep Blue Good-By by John D. MacDonald

5.0

Just read this classic and enjoyed it thoroughly! Although the 1964 take on relations between men and women can read a little jarring in 2015, the characters are wonderfully drawn and the language is arresting--for example, I loved his description of a sterile modern Florida house: "When they are emptied after occupancy, they have the look of places where the blood has recently been washed away." Now I'm on to the second book of the Travis McGee series!
