Before John D. MacDonald created Travis McGee, he wrote a number of fine novels, blessed with beautifully incisive characters, and this is a prime example. Two American expats -- a bored divorcee and a nickle-and-dime hustler -- decide to start a "summer art institute" in Cuernavaca. As the students assemble, a complex interplay of events is beautifully set up and resolved. Good stuff.
