I have had problems with his characters who seem to be
eccentric only for eccentricity's sake (McGee's partner,
whatever his name is, McGee's strange and peculiar habits (I
just hate his Rolls Royce turned into a pick-up)), with his
language that is forcedly relaxed and with his dialogue that
is filled up with long monologues about life, politics and
none-too-bright wisdom. MacDonald babbles. That's the main
problem.
So shoot me.
