The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper is the 10th in the Travis McGee series by John D MacDonald. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. As I always say when titles in this series drop, grab it now if you want it, because these only rarely go on sale in the US, and I can't remember ever seeing one repeat on sale.

Spoiler:

From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat.

He had done a big favor for her husband, then for the lady herself. Now she’s dead, and Travis McGee finds that Helena Pearson Trescott had one last request of him: to find out why her beautiful daughter Maureen keeps trying to kill herself. But what can a devil-may-care beach bum do for a young troubled mind?

“The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author.”—Jonathan Kellerman

McGee makes his way to the prosperous town of Fort Courtney, Florida, where he realizes pretty quickly that something’s just not right. Not only has Maureen’s doctor killed herself, but a string of murders and suicides are piling up—and no one seems to have any answers.

Just when it seems that things can’t get any stranger, McGee becomes the lead suspect in the murder of a local nurse. As if Maureen didn’t have enough problems, the man on a mission to save her will have to save himself first—before time runs out.
