Haven't read CRY HARD, but the rest range from good to
excellent. GOLD and GRAY are two of the best Travis McGee
books.

THE GALTON CASE is an important book historically -- the
first book where MacDonald really found his distinctive voice
as a writer. UNDERGROUND is also well worth reading.

This is part of the Quiller series, a very unique British hb
spy series. The installments vary in quality -- this one is
pretty decent. Good if you like spy stories.
