I loved “The Lonely Silver Rain.” I have all of the Travis McGee novels on my Wish List at Amazon.com. I’ll own First Editions of them all one day. It is my mission! :)

“Just Another Sunday” was a good one, too. About crooked creeps in the pay-for-play world of Tele-Vangelism.

MacDonald wrote tons of TV and movie screenplays, too...many from his own novels.

Quite a prolific and talented man.

Have you ever read John O’Hara? If not, start with “Appointment in Samara.” Man, I love that book. Very “Gatsby-esque” but SO much more.

Hi Diana,

I have read them all. MacDonald also has an interesting book about his two cats you might enjoy. I do not remember the title. but it was a look into the lives of the author and his family.

I’d forgotten about “Just Another Sunday.” It was pretty good.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check into it.

Speaking of recommendations, check out Charles Todd and his murder mysteries with Inspector Ian Rutledge. They’re set post WW1 England.
