First off, thanks to Mr. Crider for the excellent
history.
I'm reading John D. MacDonald's THE BEACH GIRLS (1959), which
has been mentioned before as a book with different chapters
from different points of view (as is THE PRICE OF MURDER and
another one I read recently). It was also mentioned that the
last sentence of each paragraph tails off and is picked up at
the start of the next, by the next person.
This edition is d1590, but on the big Gold Medal site [1] I
see it was also #s907, #1318, #d1895, #r2242, #t2604, #13262.
Did they assign new numbers to reprints? My edition must be
post-1965 because it says six Travis McGee books are out. The
cover is almost the same as shown on the web site, but the
title has been shifted around and a quote from Anthony
Boucher and the line "Under the bright Florida sun, six
willing girls would find love, one sinister man would find
death" were added.
I've just started it, but I'll give a summary when I'm done.
I'll also be tackling a Bruno Fischer book (my first, though
I own three or four), and a Shell Scott mystery from Richard
Prather.
