I've read--and have--them all. The Deep Blue Good-By is not
the best, since
it apparently took MacDonald a while to get to know Travis
McGee. Meyer
doesn't show up for a few books. I forget which one. But once
MacDonald got
into it they just got better for a while. Nothing is given
away, but if you
don't read them in order you might be baffled by some of the
people who
wander in and out.
MacDonald had a degree in business or finance, and the books
reflected his
knowledge. Someone complained they could do without McGee's
expressing his
opinion on everything. Hell, that's half the fun.
