The Drowner: A Novel | John D. MacDonald
5 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
The Drowner, one of many classic novels from crime writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook. Lucille Hanson left her rich husband, a man who lived casually and loved carelessly. She found a new man, one who appeared to treat her right. Lucille was putting together the pieces of her life, determined not to make the old mistakes, the foolish ones that had almost wrecked her the first time around . . . until all of her hopes came to rest at the bottom of the lake where her body is found. It must have been an accident, most people say. It might have been suicide, others think. But among her mourners, just one person refuses to believe it was anything other than murder.

This book is a twisty thriller. It starts out quite tamely, but, oh, that ending. The Florida heat is a major character in this murdery tale. Beware those with a rigid moral code. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I managed to squeeze in my April #bookspin, so yay for that! This is definitely not a book I would have attempted to read if not for the fact that it was apparently referenced in Peter Swanson's "Eight Perfect Murders". For me, it didn't really pick up until the last third...but it was fine. My Kindle version had SO many typos though!!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! I hate it when the Kindle versions are done so poorly. It's like no one even proofreads them at all! 4y

Interesting! Not my favorite, but I‘m withholding judgment until I see what it brings to the plot of Eight Perfect Murders (which is why I read this in the first place).

2 🌟 The mystery was alright but the book is so badly outdated that it took me much longer to read than it should've. Will have to see what this brings to the Eight Perfect Murders.

Second book in my #EightPerfectMurdersProject
