The Quick Red Fox is a novel written by John D. MacDonald. The book is chapter 4 of the tremendously loved Travis McGee novel series. In the audio format, this novel just last for a little over 6 hours which makes it a short and sweet experience for the listeners. The author truly believes in maintaining quality over anything and doesn’t truly feel like stretching unnecessarily for making it longer. Some of his other quality work include the novels like One Fearful Yellow Eye and The Deep Blue Good-By.
The narration of this chapter is masterfully done by Robert Petkoff. His performance was loved for his simplicity of accent and great grip over his voice while playing such diverse range of characters.
It was all about a standard or a basic blackmail plan. For many years, the name of sultry Lyna Deans on a movie had always meant a bonanza at the collection made at the box office. Now, a few pictures of her could actually mean the end of her career.
When approached for the first time for assistance by the gorgeous Dana Holtzer, the personal secretary of Lysa Dean, Travis McGee gets completely turned off by all those tacky details coming. But, being quite low on cash and attracted to some extent by the enchantingly remote secretory. Travis McGee sets off on the mission to locate all his suspects. However, just as the hunt starts, he discovers all the suspects turning out dead one after the other.
The novel makes a great read for all the suspense it has which is covered with an amazing story. A definite entertainer for all the crime mystery novel lovers.
