<<Now I'm going to learn about the John D. MacDonald/Travis McGee
genre... any recommendations?>>

Start at the beginning and read on...occasionally, you'll find that John
D. gets a little cheesy, or preachy, but his amazing storytelling
ability silences petty criticisms. I would also recommend the pre-McGee
(and some post-, too) MacDonald's, almost all of them are wonderful. He
probably had the widest thematic range of any mystery writer.

Somethimes I think we don't talk enough about old MacDonald.
Nevertheless, his presence can be felt here.
