This one just didn't do it for me. I love MacDonald's writings and I usually plow through his books in a few days and this one took me almost a month.

A friend shows up to town to see McGee after a long absence, he gets killed, McGee wants to find who did it. That's it.

Didn't find the plot, the writing or the characters all that interesting. At one point I put the book down and picked up and read a different book just to keep myself interested. No idea why exactly this one didn't click but it didn't.
