Book Reviews of Bright Orange for the Shroud
Book Review: Not for the squeamish.
Summary: 4 Stars
In Bright Orange for the Shroud, intrepid investigator Travis McGee uses brains and brawn to restore dignity and self respect to Arthur Wilkinson, a former McGee acquaintance who has lost everything in a real estate swindle. Not only did Wilkinson lose every last cent he ever had but he must live with the knowledge that one of the swindlers was his own wife.
This is a page turner of a novel that is part sting operation and part action adventure. Much of the book's interest quotient derives from the presence of Boone Waxwell, a menacing criminal who will remind readers and moviegoers of the villian in Cape Fear, another John D. MacDonald creation.
The action unfolds entirely within Travis McGee's beloved home state of Florida and is chock full of lush descriptions of the beaches, swamps and waterways that go to make up the Sunshine State. Bright Orange for the Shroud is an excellent example of crime writing. One that holds up well even after 40+ years. Recommended to fans of hardboiled crime.
