Robert Petkoff
Travis McGee is too busy with his houseboat to pay attention to the little old man with the missing postage stamps. Except these are no ordinary stamps. They are rare stamps. Four hundred thousand dollars worth of rare. And if McGee doesn't recognize their value, perhaps Mary Alice McDermit, a six-foot knockout who knows all the ways to a boat bum's heart, will. Only it's not McGee's heart that's in danger. Because a syndicate killer has put a contract on McGee. A killer who knows a thing or two about stamps...and even more about McGee.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I like the small number of people in story...as it is easier to 'keep track of characters" when listening.What other book might you compare The Scarlet Ruse to and why?
i can only compare to authors other books because his writing style is one of my favorites.Continues to include some of same characters in other books, like old friends...
Which character – as performed by Robert Petkoff – was your favorite?
I do like his performance....but I must admit I still think of main character as performed by Darin Mc Gavin in many past books. Just part of my memories....Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not extreme but sort of shocked at extent of main characters injuries..Any additional comments?
Love the name of his houseboat--"Busted Flush"--won it in a high stakes poker game..a little convoluted but ultimately fulfilling end.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Scarlet Ruse to be better than the print version?
i would not know since i never read the print edition. what a wasted question.What did you like best about this story?
the reader. as much as i love JDM - what a great job he did. pitch perfect.Which scene was your favorite?
i liked the first scene (s) the best because they were ' fresh '. any story, how well written tends to get ' stale ' after a while. at the beginning of a story the characters are new. the plot is first being put together. the reader is just getting a feel for how the author writes.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
mr. macdonald does it again. more mystory. more suspense. more implied sex. more violence.more terrific story telling.
Any additional comments?
yes. the first fiction book that i ever read. maybe 60 years ago. was a travis mcgee novel by john d. macdonald. and now at 74 for the first time i ' listened' to another travis mcgee novel !what a wonderful way to ' bookend ' my life. of cause i am not finished with JDM as yet - any more then i am not finished with my life, as yet.
forever entertaining
